FORMAT:
Below are the requirements for the paper. It needs to be written in your own words. I encourage you to draw from your textbook and class discussions as you connect theory with practice.
Interview— Submissions with insufficient length will not be accepted. The paper will be in a narrative format– as outlined below.
Purpose: The class project will be one that offers the student a viable opportunity to demonstrate management skills. Overview: Each student will present an interview with an individual who, at one point in their career has been a manager.
Topic: Interview a mid- to top-level manager.
Format: Between 5-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12 font and approximately 1″ margin and double spaced pages –EXCLUDING the cover page.
Page one should be a summary page that provides an overview of the organization (anonymously), the manager (anonymously), and the position held. The body of the paper should ideally discuss how this person, manages other people within the four functions–planning-organizing-directing-controlling thrives or attempts to survive handles a typical day integrates a particular style of management (autocratic, democratic, etc.) deals with making ethical decisions motivates employees serves as an example of a good or bad manager leads the department communicates most often–written, e-mail, etc. Include a small piece on business ethics.
The last page of your paper should offer a summary of what you learned from the interview.
The final paper will be anonymous. A small business person will also work for this project.
I am asking for a cut/paste email, not attached file. It will eventually be posted in discussions as a cut/paste.
