The final assignment for the course will test your knowledge on one particular area of study in the field of Organizational Behavior. The topics to choose from are:? Working in teams? Bias in the workplace? Conflict resolution? Performance feedback? Organizational culture? Facilitating creativity? Decision making obstacles? Communication in organizations? Job and organizational design? Contemporary work environments

If you would like to use a different topic, you must request approval from me first. You are expected to make an argument on the topic and back it up with strong sources. Make it convincing and make it stand up to scrutiny. The argument must not be something as simple as ethics in organizations are important. Make it more specific, answer a question you find interesting. And then convince me that your argument is true utilizing knowledge gained in the course.

Your paper must include:

1) Introduction where you will introduce to topic, define any terms, and provide your thesis or argument (for example: expending resources on conflict resolution tools in the workplace is not a valuable use of money)

2) Evidence and a strong argument to back up your thesis. I expect external academic sources to be used, two or three sources should suffice. Further referencing from non-academic sources may support your paper but will not count towards the peer-reviewed source expectation

3) A summary/conclusion of the paper
