Write term paper on Management:
Obtain an alternative/outside perspective on the functioning and management of teams and groups. This is the focus of the Term Paper.
For the Term Paper, students will be assigned to obtain and read one popular press book (i.e. not an academictextbook) focused on group behavior, team leadership, group dynamics, or related topics. After reading thebook, students will then construct a critique of the key subject matter, ideas, recommendations, etc. presented,and most importantly, offer a detailed discussion of how these key points may be connected to topics/constructscovered in the course material. A list of possible books you may use for this assignment is provided in thissyllabus. You may choose any book on this list. If there is an alternative book not on the list you would like touse that you feel may be appropriate, you must inquire with me in advance before using it for your Term Paper.
Your Term Paper must have two components. First, you should provide a summary of the book, roughly threeto four pages in length. In this summary, highlight the core ideas of the book. The second component, then,should contain your critique of the book and its core themes, ideas, and recommendations. As noted, for thiscritique I am particularly interested in your ability to tie concepts presented in your chosen book with coursetopics/constructs. These may be points of convergence, divergence, or connections you are able to make inanother way. This second component should be roughly six to seven pages in length. Complete Term Papersshould therefore be roughly ten to eleven pages, not inclusive of any references or supplemental material youchoose to include.
