Analyze how organizational communications concepts and theories are active within a UHD student organization or a community organization.
You will need to offer personal experience AND/OR specific examples provided from participant interviews to support the activity of organizational communication concepts and theories within the selected student organization.
You will compose a 6-8 page paper (not including cover page and references) on this construct and prepare a creative multimedia (not PowerPoint) with an oral presentation. Your paper and presentation should be uploaded in Blackboard for grading purposes prior to class on the date due.
Part 1 — Write an analysis paper in APA format, 6-8 body pages, double-spaced. It should include the following clearly marked sections:
a) Introduction of the concepts/theories you will analyze in through the campus/community organization. Ensure that you include a clear thesis statement that guides the entirety of your paper.
b) Background of the organization at-large and specifically within the context of the University of Houston-Downtown or the community for which your organization serves.
c) Outline of the three organizational communication perspectives, concepts and theories (e.g., the machine metaphor from the classical management perspective) you will address in your paper (no more than three).
d) Application of the perspective/concept/theories to the organization: focus on developing 3 key applications; be sure to provide specific examples from your experience and research to justify your claims.
e) Conclusion: summarize your analysis, the relevant organizational communication perspective/concept, and applications identified.
