Group assignment
The group assignment is a case study of one global management practice that you can freely select. Your task is to analyze how this practice is used in a ‘real-life’ context. Below some guiding questions for the case study:
- What is the origin of the selected management practice? Why was it introduced and by whom?
- What was the initial response to it? What are some of the arguments for and against it?
- What kind of changes has this practice brought about? Are these changes radical or incremental?
- How is the practice implemented across various units of the organizations or in a particular unit? Has it been modified when adopted locally?
The above questions are not exhaustive and you may decide to answer other questions depending on the case. The focus and scope of the case study need to be approved by the teacher. The assignment is evaluated based on a written report submitted by Wednesday, April 10 at 23:59. The length of the written report is 10 pages (font: 12pt Times New Roman; line spacing: 1,5) plus references and appendices. In addition, each group will give a brief 10-minute presentation of their topic in class during the course. More detailed instructions as well as the presentation schedule will be given in class.
