Due in Blackboard by 11:59pm on Friday October 18th
You recently began working for a consulting firm that helps assess and apply
organizational theories in the workplace. Your first assignment from your new
boss is to meet with a new client of the firm to discuss issues they are having
with motivation, employee absenteeism, and high rates of turnovers. The client
is Joe’s Brick, a large company that manufactures products made of brick and
stone (e.g., fireplaces, tiles, granite, brick). The client has asked you to draw up
a brief report that they can look over before you meet to give them an idea of the
things you will be talking with them about. Your assignment is to create this
report for your client. Your report should be in format that is consistent with
sending information to your client (memo style) and be complete enough that
your client can understand your report and all course related information
before they have met with you for clarification.
Make sure to:
- Identify one theory of motivation, stress, or job satisfaction (as discussed
in the text and/or lecture) that you will use to help you through this
process. Use this theory to provide the framework for your report. Explain
the theory. (5 points) - Identify possible reasons for the problems facing Joe’s Brick. NOTE: this
is not a real company, but you should act as if you have already done
some research on why the organization is having problems. Also, you do
not have to list all possible problems, just the ones you would like to
focus on that relate to your theory. (5 points) - Describe what procedures you will use to identify which of these problems
are occurring. (5 points) - Suggest possible solutions that you will implement based on your
(hypothetical) findings that are related to your theoretical framework. (5
points)
