The research paper will be an analysis of a collaborative effort of the student’s choosing. This may be a collaboration within a single entity (a community or a place of employment) or one that involves multiple organizations. Direct involvement in the subject collaboration is a plus as it allows the student to bring personal observation into the discussion, but it is not required. In completing the analysis, students will demonstrate understanding of concepts discussed in class assignments and readings. The paper shall be eight to ten pages in length (double spaced/12 point font), excluding the abstract, references and any supplemental materials, and will use APA format for reference citation and structure. The paper will follow the following outline: • Abstract (on separate page) • Introduction • Description of Collaboration, including who is involved, objectives, status (e.g., in preparation, ongoing, completed), measures of success, etc. • Analysis of leadership challenges, success/failure, reasons why • Analysis of lessons learned that can be applied to other collaborative efforts • Summary and Conclusion • References • Supplemental Materials (Optional) ? A “presentation” will be expected for each term paper. This can be either an Executive Summary (no more than two pages) of your paper or a PowerPoint presentation (no more than four slides). Students are required to post this “presentation” to the Discussion Board that will be set up this purpose. This also provides an opportunity for other classmates to provide comments on your work.
