Select, research, and analyze a real organization (public, private, or non-profit). You may select an organization in which you have worked or have been a member. Examine a problem or issue of concern within that organization. Be selective in choosing an issue or problem within an organization, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis. The purpose of this CLA is to apply both what has been learned in the course as well as your own independent research to problems in an organization of your choice. Focus on an issue or problem that the organization is facing and is relevant to the content of this course. 1) What are the issues or problems facing the organization? 2) What theoretical concepts from this course can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring? 3) What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning?
