of real corporate perusing newspapers (e.g. The Hindu, Times Of India, Economic
world management times or Business standard etc) and business periodicals (e.g.
practices and Business Week, Fortune, Forbes). Students should select a
behavioral preliminary topic of interest (business/corporate
dimensions world/management/Economy etc) and follow it for several days
(can be up to two weeks) to ensure that additional information
about the event becomes available. Student may also examine older
issues of the newspaper or business press to see how past literature
may have presented the issue (e.g. was the now troubled CEO once
portrayed as the next star? Was this now infamous firm once
portrayed as the ideal organization?). Depending on the age of the
organization, student may also be able to find books or related
literature on the organization. Once students have at least 10
sources ( may have fewer if students are using books), they need to
draw upon these sources as well as course materials to conduct a
An instruction plan is only a tentative plan. The teacher may make some changes in his/her teaching plan. The students are advised to use syllabus for preparation of all examinations. The students are expected to keep themselves

 careful analysis of the event as well as provide recommendations
for improving the outcome of the event.
In analyzing the event, students need to consider:
1. How does this particular event compare with previous views of
the organization?
2. What organizational dynamics (Management practices or
behavioral aspects) were operating in the event?
3. What could the individual or organization have done to change
the outcome of the event?
Assignment Structure:
Part One: The background of the event should lead the students to a
guiding question that student would like to address in the paper, and
the selected concept should address this question. For eg: ABC
began as a joint venture between PQR and XYZ. While previously
the plant PQR had been shut down due to many labor problems, by
reopening and applying many management principles from XYZ,
the plant began to thrive as ABC. What management practices led
to the success of ABC? 10 marks
Part II: Link the event selected to one (or more) of the concepts or
theories covered in class. Provide clear and specific examples from
the case to support the analysis. Be sure to link the example back to
the concept by mentioning how the example demonstrates the
concept taught in the class or given in the text or reference books.
For eg: From a human resources perspective, ABC has been
successful because it focuses on empowering employees. For
instance, employees are involved in job design. 10 marks
Part III: Drawing on course concepts, give recommendations that
follow from the event. For recommendations, it might help to
consider: what could the organization/person itself/him/herself have
done differently (if the event could have been better). Alternatively,
students might consider how other organizations/people might learn
from the event and how they might apply it to their situation. These
recommendations should be specific and tell us how to these
recommendations might actually be implemented. 10 marks

you must provide the 1st page of that document.
