The purpose of a case study project is to help you to develop your skills in: - • - analy zing an organizational situation; • - identifying issues, problems and opportunities; and, where appropriate, • - making recommendations for acti on and/or improvement . In so doing, the project will enable you to combine theory and practice , by applying your course learning to a ‘real’ organization. At the same time, this project is designed to help you to develop your teamwork skills, an area of skill that is becoming increasingly important in the world of business and management, and in organizational life in general. Your effective performance as a team member will therefore be an important part of this project, and will count significantly towards your individualized project mark. Your Task Imagine you are a consultancy team , hired by company management to investigate and report on certain aspects of organizational behaviour within this company. You are required to report to company Senior Management Team on organizational behaviour issues. Process You must submit your analysis, findings and recommendations to the Senior Management Team at the company in two separate formats, i.e. • a progress report and final written manag ement report (worth 190 marks); and • an oral / visual in -class presentation (worth 60 marks) . The combined marks, out of 250, will then be converted to a percentage (i.e. out of 100 ), and this will be worth 25% of the overall grade for this course. Gui dance will be given in class on the required shape and format for both the report and the presentation. You will be working in teams of approximately five or six students. Each team member is required to contribute an equal share of the total work involve d in the project. On this basis (but only if this happens), it is hoped to be able to award the same mark to all the members of a team. However, if any individual student contributes less than a reasonably equal share of the work, that student’s mark will be reduced accordingly. In this connection, the project will include a form of peer evaluation, whereby each student’s contribution will be assessed by his/her team colleagues . Please remember, therefore, that your final (individual) project mark will be partly influenced by your effectiveness as a team member.

The ‘audience’ for each presentation will consist of the Course Instructor (representing the Chief Executive Officer), and all the members of the other student project teams in the class (representing other members of the company’s Senior Management Team). Every project team is strongly encouraged to integrate the use of some visual media into their presentation, as this will almost certainly enhance both the quality and impact of their presentations and result in a higher mark being awarded. If you include a video, please limit it to only 1. It should be less than 2 minutes long. Your presentation should not exceed 15 minutes. You may be cut off when you go over the time limit.

Instead, use bullet points to summarize the important points. Use pictures and graphs as necessary. Your last slide must include your references, using APA format, including that of pictures and videos used in your presenta tion. Don’t read the slides . You will immediately loose marks. Talk about your topic. All group members should present, assigning one member of the team to be in-charge of the PPT presentation. This is a business presentation so presenters are expected t o dress professionally during your scheduled presentation. Every team is also encouraged to include a creative element in their presentation. Such creativity n ormally enhances the impact and uniqueness of the presentation, and results in a higher mark be ing awarded. It is suggested that you check the suitability of your creative ideas with your Instructor , in advance of the presentations. One day before the pr esentation, each project team must submit, to the Course Instructor, a n emailed copy of any vis ual aids used in their presentation, so that it can be referred to by the Instructor when the presentation is subsequently being assessed . Any team requiring assistance with the preparation and / or setting up of their presentation should notify the Cours e Instructor of their needs by e -mail or in person as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than ________________. ACADEMIC REFERENCING, AVOIDING PLAG IARISM, AND LEGITIMATE SOURCES OF HELP General Points Normal academic rules about using, quot ing, summarizing, or referring to published work , and avoiding plagiarism , will apply. All material taken from other sources that you use in any of these ways mu st be correctly referenced in accordance with one of the following officially recognized and accepted systems: - The A.P.A. (American Psychological Association) style Guidance for using this particular systems is available through attending an A.PA. Citati on Workshop run by the Alexander College Writing and Learning Centre. Guidance is also availabl e at Purdue University’s On -Line Writing Lab at: - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ and from the Alexander College Librarians and the tutors of the C ollege’s Writing and Learning Centre. Referencing of Class Notes You may wish to quote from, s ummarize, or refer to material taken from the following sources: - A class hand -out note, in which the original source of the material is cited. A class hand -ou t note with no specific reference shown. Notes that you yourself wrote from a lecture you atten ded. It is, of course, totally acceptable to do this, and you are encouraged to do s o. However, even these sources should also be properly cited, and there are correct ways of doi ng it. Original by: David Craw ford Revised by: Aurora Faundo / Fall 202 0 8 Further Help For further help with this aspect of your work, and with other aspects of the Team Project, you should consult only the following :- your C ourse Instructor, staff of the College’s Student Writing and Learning Centre, and the College L ibrarians. AS A REQUIREMENT OF THIS PROJECT, EACH TEAM MUST FULFIL AT LEAST ONE COMPLETE APPOINTMENT AT THE WRITING AND LEARNING CENTRE. If you wish to obtain h elp from anyone other than the above, you must obtain approval in advance from your Course Inst ructor. IF IT IS FOUND THAT A TEAM, OR ANY MEMBER(S) OF A TEAM, OBTAINED HELP FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE WITHOUT SUCH PRIOR APPROVAL, THAT TEAM IS LIKELY TO BE AWA RDED A MARK OF ‘ZERO’ FOR THE PROJECT. Important Warning Please note that the use of other p eople’s work/material without proper referencing constitutes plagiarism ; this is a serious academic offence which in, accordance with College policy, is likely t o result in a mark of ‘zero’ and possible additional penalties . TEAM PROJECT - PEER EVALUAT ION FORM TEAM NUMBER ___ ____ LEADER ’S NAME_________________________ Please indicate below whether, in your opinion, equ al or differing marks should be awarded to the members of your team in respect of the team proj ect. You may decide that each member deserves an equal share of the mark , in which case each team member would receive a peer evaluation of “1.00.” Alternatively , you might feel that some members of the team deserve less than 1.00 , while others deserve mor e than 1.00. Whatever marks you are recommending, the sum of the evaluations for all members on your form must be equal to the total number of members in your te am . Please ensure that you include a rating for yourself , as part of this process. Names of Te am Members Your Recommended Initial ed by Person (alphabetical order of surname) Proportion of the Mark Being Evaluated ___________________________ _____ __ __________ ___________________________ _______ __________ ___________________________ _______ __________ ___________________________ _______ __________ ___________________________ _______ __________ __________ _________________ _______ __________ If you have a warded a peer evaluation of less than 0.90 to any member(s) of your team, please briefly explain, below, their behaviour(s) that caused you to do this: - _______ ______________________________________________________________ _____________ _ Original by: David Craw ford Revised by: Aurora Faundo / Fall 202 0 9 Peer Evaluation C riteria In deciding the peer evaluation marks you wish to award to the members of your team, it is suggested that you use the following performance criteria as a guide :- Participation - attends team meetings; takes part in discussions and decision -making. Emotional Support - helps to support, maintain and enhance team spirit and morale. Collaboration - co -operates fully and effectively with other team members; show s flexibility and a and adaptability; helps to make it possible for all team members to make a fair contribution. Communication - communicates clearly and effectively with other team members; provides timely and construc tive criticism and feedback; respond s promptly to communication from other team members. Attitude - shows enthusiasm for the project ; has a positive approach to the work; is able to give and receive criticism in a constructive manner. Organiz ation - is effective in plan ning his/her own work, p rioritiz ing tasks and managing time; shares information and ideas in a logical and coherent man ner. Role Fulfil lment - meets all deadlines; delivers high -quality work on, or ahead of, time; meets all assigned responsibilities. Notes: - • Your peer evaluation should take into account all the work undertaken in the preparation and production of your team ’s written report , and in preparing and delivering your team’s in-class presentation. • Your Instructor will be responsible for determining each individual’s fina l mark for the project, and will be the final arbiter in case of any disagreement. • Your complet ed peer evaluation form must be handed in to your Instructor, together with those of your team colleagues, by the start of the final class session on ________ _____________ • Failure to hand in your completed peer evaluation form on time will result in a penalty in the form of a deduction from your individual project score of five percentage points; don’t let this happen to you! REQUIREMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE TEAM WORK The success of any team depends on the commitment and effective contributions of all its members . This principle applies to all forms of team activity in all types of context , whe ther it be in business, sport, adventure, education, charity, communit y, entertainment, and even emergency and disaster relief. Working in a team gives you an oppor tunity to make a worthwhile and satisfying contribution to something bigger than you could hope to achieve on your own. It also gives you an opportunity to learn from other people – your team colleagues – as you work together on your task. Original by: David Craw ford Revised by: Aurora Faundo / Fall 202 0 10 While workin g on this Team Project, please keep the following important points in mind: 1. Remember at all times that this is a team project. Throughout the project, you are r equired to work as an effective member of your team. This means that you must make an equal co ntribution to the operation and output of your team. The final page of this Briefing Document (the back of the peer evaluation form) outlines some of the specifi c ways in which you can contribute. 2. Only work that represents the efforts of your team as a wh ole will be accepted for assessment. Any student(s) who disengage(s) from their team and attempt(s) to submit a separate piece of work will automatically receive a mark of ‘zero’ for the project. 3. All the members of each team will be held accountable both individually and collectively for the work they submit for assessment. For instance, if any part of the project is plagiariz ed, all the members of that team wil l receive a mark of ‘zero.’ 4. It is not teamwork to just divide the project between you, with e ach member producing a part, and then to simply add those parts together and submit them as one piece of work. While it is acceptable and often practical to begi n in this way, you must then work together to check and improve each part collectively as a tea m, to enhance the overall quality and cohesiveness . Finally, all team members should be reasonably satisfied with the work, and accept ownership of it and respon sibility for it. 5. As part of the Course Contract signed by students at the start of this course , every student agreed to make a full and equal contribution to the Team Project (refer to your copy of the Contract). 6. If any student is failing to fulfil l his/ her responsibilities to the team, the other team members should draw this to the attention of t he student concerned as soon as possible, and help and encourage that student to become an equal contributor . If this should prove unsuccessful, the team should then notify the Instructor at the earliest opportunity (do not wait until the final week of the project!). 7. As there are students with different first languages in e ach team, it is essential that everyone speaks only in English during all team meetings , so that everyone has an equal opportunity to understand and participate.
