In the basic assignment, you are to pick out what YOU think are the KEY issues and make recommendations, applying class theory on the way. That’s it. Some of the key issues might arise in the questions at the end of the case, but I can’t guaranty that.(2) The grading criteria (below) serve to give you a clear understanding of how I will evaluate the cases.Case Grading Criteria25%: Identification of Key Issues Realizing that there are numerous issues, choose those which are the most critical to the future success of the organization at the time of the case. These key issues may arise from any part of the organization, thus they need not be limited to people, i.e. systems and procedures may be of the utmost importance at any one time. (For term group projects, updating of the information is recommended)25%: Application of Theory Complement your good ideas and common sense with the ‘tools’ of this class, i.e. class/text theory, (past FIU, the ‘tools’ of your profession will be developed as you ‘grow’ as a professional). By adding this perspective to your work, both forclass AND past FIU, it will be stronger in its content, and ultimately, more convincing to your reader.25% Recommendations Past FIU, the quality of your recommendations will be a critical factor in yoursuccess. Recommendations should, if possible, include alternatives so as to increase objectivity. Also, there should be reasoning that “sells” your idea, both in theory and implementation, i.e. the “why, who, how, when, etc.” of your idea.25% Presentation Organizing and delivering your ideas in a succinct and logical manner is vital to the success of your work, for if the presentation is poor, your good ideas couldget lost. Good grammar and syntax are vital, for a reader can get distracted to the point oflosing the message, your professional credibility can be damaged by the inability to writeeffectively, i.e. typos can leave a lasting impression. Proofreading by athird party is highly recommended.***I encourage you to utilize others’ work – BUT YOU MUST CITE IT!!! Actually, using others’ ideas is a very “Professional” practice – and citing makes it even stronger since it shows that your idea/recommendation is researched and well developed – not just your “I think/I feel” idea…
