MGMT6012 Management Perspectives - Assignment One: Case Study

Task:

Students will individually draw up a case study report on their own organization, or an organization of their choice. Students may wish to select an organization where they have worked in the past or would like to work in the future. Note that Assessment One is linked with Assessment Two, thus it is important that you choose the organization for Assessment One carefully so that you can write Assessment Two with the same organization in mind. The case study needs to demonstrate an understanding of organisational theory from the first three modules of the subject including the role and functions of management at the organization, management theory evident at the organisation, organisational structure, communication, organisational ethics and diversity. You will need to briefly apply this information from the first three modules and then expand your discussion on a specific management issue relevant to that organization.
A specific management issue could include the organizational structure; communication and employee morale; the management style of leaders; ethical business practices; or a lack of organizational diversity – or there could be other issues. You will need to critically evaluate this issue in the chosen organizational context drawing from a relevant management theory.
