Case Scenario:
The Boston Brothers (BB) is responsible for providing security and Information Technology services to State and Federal governments. BB is located throughout the world, making it a global organization that faces the same challenges today that a publicly held global company encounters. Additionally, as technology continues to become more prevalent around the world, BB's challenge to conduct its mission is magnified and requires that it be a flexible, change oriented, learning organization. This solution provides a discussion on the various organizational behavior concepts using Boston Brothers as the backdrop.
The final project is a 2000- to 2500-word research paper on the successful and/or unsuccessful application of organizational behavior concepts in Google. Select and research the three below organizational behavior concepts that, uniquely practiced, make Google either successful, unsuccessful, or a combination of both. You are required to use five to seven references as part of your research. The final paper should be formatted according to APA guidelines, and contain the following elements:
• An introduction and a thesis statement
• A body with supporting evidence and in-text citations
• A conclusion
• A reference list with at least five to seven sources
Your research should uncover how Google successfully uses, or suffers by ignoring, any of the following concepts:
• Motivation
• Organizational Culture
• Human Resources Practices
Be sure to provide multiple examples of the main concepts as practiced at Google.
