Discussion Post: Organization Behavior
From the assigned readings, select one topic for which you will lead the discussion. Reserve your selected topic by posting your response (reservation post) to the Discussion Area, identifying your topic in the subject line.
Some of the main topics (Drivers Themes) include:
1) Change
2) Groups and teams
3) Organizational culture
4) Organizational systems
Other potential topics and subtopics exist in the readings.
Be very specific with the topic you choose (e.g., which change theories or what is it about culture that you are analyzing?). Also, now that you have studied several OB themes in the course, begin looking for relationships between themes and considering how current organizational environments (e.g., globalization, technology, and change) interact with OB.
As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be:
1) Succinct-no more than 500 words.
2) Provocative-use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire and learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand.
3) Supported-scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources.
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
