Management Assignment Help

Questions 1: Locally, nationally and internationally, there are many organisations whose failure has been determined at least in part by key organisational behaviour and people factors. Recently, the media has reported on a number of organisations that have engaged in unethical (wrong or bad) or grossly incompetent behaviour where organisational behaviour and people issues played a key role. For example, culture, leadership, and motivation and reward systems were antecedents to Volkswagen’s disgrace in 2015, which is having severe consequences for its stakeholders. Questions 2: The team presentations are designed to develop your oral communication, presentation, and advocacy skills, as well as to deepen your understanding of team behaviour. The class will also benefit as these presentations will consolidate learning. Working in a team, prepare an interactive presentation for the class on the "latest thinking" on a topic to be decided at the time of group formation. It is recommended that you use the relevant chapter from your textbook as a starting point for your topic ideas, and then research your topic in more detail by looking for academic articles from the ACU library databases and quality business press publications (for a guide to good journals, see the Learning Resources page). For example, from chapter 4, you might examine the latest thinking on what we know about emotional intelligence. Note, "latest thinking," means research published within the last five years. Using the text, plus a minimum of 15 high quality journal articles, design an interactive presentation to the class that conveys the latest research and thinking on the topic, including the implications for practice. The presentation will be a maximum of 30 minutes followed by 5-10 minutes of question and class discussion time. All members of your group should help prepare the presentation, although you may choose how many members do the in-class presentation. At least 2 members should present, but all team members must be able to respond to questions. The presentations should be pitched at a business audience, and be interactive and engage the audience rather than simply talking for 30 minutes. Feel free to be creative (e.g., your team may pose as a consulting company giving an interactive seminar to current or future clients) and use whichever presentation aids you feel are helpful to convey relevant information and facilitate class learning and interaction (e.g., interactive activities, case studies, video, roleplay, PowerPoint/Prezi, handouts, etc.) If you choose to use PowerPoint, a maximum of 10 content slides is recommended. Please submit a printed copy of the slides to the lecturer on the day of the presentation, and include your reference list at the end of the presentation slides.
