Assignment:
Marris (1996) argued that multitasking is a social construct used by the powerful on the less powerful to shield them from uncertainty. How much truth is evident in this perspective and in what ways is this apparent in modern business? If not, is it possible to reduce expected multitasking in projects and if so, how?

Post must be three short paragraphs
• Think of the assignment in terms of a concise writing exercise. Relate the post to the course materials.
• Try to keep your posts to 150-200 words. Texts longer than 150-200 words are harder to follow on screen.
• Better-formulated, grammatically correct, clear posts attract more attention (from both instructor and colleagues).
• Develop your initial post in a word processing program where you can edit; then post. This gives you the added advantage of leaving you with a record of your observations. The saved word processing format is always available to you to refer back to after the course is completed.
