Write a case study analysis based on two case
studies that use Morgan’s metaphors (or similar) as a tool to understand
organizations. Review the Case Study Analysis procedure attached to this
assignment. Obtain your case study articles from scholarly, peer-reviewed
journals. Use case studies that were published
within the last ten years. After a concise, but thorough and clear delineation
and analysis of the cases, complete the paper with a summary of what you
gleaned from using metaphors to understand management practice within
organizations.
Use the following outline in your
summary (in APA format with a Title page and References page):
1.
Identify
the business problems of each of the cases; describe the metaphor(s) used.
2.
Rank-order
the critical issues stated in the cases
3.
Evaluate
the proposed solutions. Are the solutions valid? Why or why not? How/why did
the use of metaphor(s) assist in the solution?
4.
Submit
recommendations you propose beyond what is already stated in the cases.
5.
State
how the solutions will be communicated in each case. Do you agree? Why or why
not?
6.
At
the end of the paper, write a paragraph expressing the takeaways/benefits of
using metaphors in management practice.
