Organizational Problem and Elements To Be Assessed
For this assignment, you will choose a manageable group size at the group or department level. Clearly state the problem at this level. Focus on identifying the underlying cause of the problem rather than the symptoms. Is the problem at a group or department level? (It is often more manageable to identify a problem at the group/department level.) Refer to “Clarifying the Organizational Issue” (textbook, p. 76), and pay careful attention to Chapter 5 of the textbook.
