MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STUDIES

MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL STUDIES
o conduct an analysis of an organization which you are interested in to determine how well management is meeting challenges to sustainability
of the company
at the current time.
This will include both research about the company itself and relevant
peer reviewed journal articles which help you underst
and the issues faced by the
company and best practices in human resources available to help the company towards
long term sustainability.
You will then
summarize your
research
findings
and
observations, as well as
recommendations
in a Report
that is
8

1
0 pages
in length
(approximately 3
00 words per page)
, not counting cover page, works cited or
bibliography
.
This assignment will comprise 30% of your total mark for this course.
General Approach to Assignment and Expected Content:
Reflect on an organi
zation that you know or research one that you wish to know
more about
. You may wish to choose one that appears to be in a highly successful
growth stage with no apparent problems looming, or one that is currently
undergoing a major crisis that challenges
its future and sustainability.
For
inspiration, look to news reports in prominent newspapers, business periodicals or the
many examples provided in our textbook.
You may also wish to analyze a company
that is known to you personally

such as a company o
wned and operated by your
family.
You are then expected to a
nalyze and describe the
current state of sustainability of the
organization
including
such factors as its
current s
tate
of
economic performance and
expectations for the
future
,
the company’s
tech
nological resources,
and how well it is
meeting global challenges. Then determine whatever you can find out about its current
human resources
practices and analyze what the company is doing right to support
sustainability, and what it may be doing wrong,
or what it may be overlooking that could
ensure greater sustainability of the organization. Conduct research on the issues that you
find, either to support your views or to help determine what the company is doing wrong
or could be doing to better support
sustainability
with emphasis on management of
human resources in the organization.
Then compare the
characteristics of the organization
you are discussing
with your research sources,
integrating and citing
theory and
references from
the various peer revie
wed
journal article
s
you have found,
and/or human
resources theory from our textbook.
Comparative areas for discussion and analysis could include the organization’s current
characteristics, stage of development and/or developmental transitions
, or probl
ems that it
is having that arise from human resource issues.
There are
many areas
you can choose to
include.
For example, the company may be having
serious problems with
recruitment,
or
be bogged down with
problems
of labour relations, innovation, ineffec
tive corporate
governance, or lack of HR leadership.
Alternatively,
the company could be doing very
well,
and poised for
impressive
grow
th. In either case, identify
and describe
the
company’s
situation
, present your research findings,
and conclude with
H
R related
recommendations
designed to ensure a
sustainable
future.
I
f you were a
n HR
consultant
advising this company,
how would you describe its current state
,
and
what human
resources practices would you r
ecommend be adopted, dispensed with, or
sustaine
d
for
the company
to
ensure organizational
sustainability and satisfaction for all stakeholders
that have an interest in the (e.g. employees, stockholders, the community, the
environment.)
Ethical Considerations
Interviews are not necessary for this
assignment. However, if you decide to conduct
in
terviews
,
ensure that you do no harm
through your enquiries
, either to the organization
or to the employees of the organization. Respect confidentiality issues and conduct
interviews
only
after first gaini
ng
permission from the owner
or senior management.
When asking permission to interview, advise the owner truthfully about the purpose of
your research. If an organization provides cooperation for your research, you are obliged
to write your findings in a
respectful way
using a solution

finding approach and tone
. If
you require any clarification about ethical considerations, be sure to speak to me before
proceeding.
