Assignment
This week’s Discussion Forum will ask you to correlate what you are studying in the texts with real life examples from the business or organizational world – including your personal experience(s).
Answer these Questions for this week’s Discussion Forum (200 word minimum):
1. Based on the readings for this week, what do you see as the Implications of Adapting over Conforming?
2. Review the front page of your local newspaper or the front page of the business section (online or hard copy). Try to identify at least one “project” that might have had a better outcome/result had it been focused on adapting versus conforming? (You can also use the Wall Street Journal, New York Times or Dallas Business Journal.)
