MANAGING GROUPS AND TEAMS
Assignment Overview
Group Dynamics and Teams
We will continue our experiential approach to the study of
Organizational Behavior by engaging in a personal applied case on the topic of
group dynamics and teams. As in module 1, use the following outline to
structure your 4-6 page paper. You may use the subtitles as headings for your
paper.
Introduction: Discuss the topic of the
paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you
have written the rest of the paper
Concrete Experience: Describe an experience with
a group or team that was meaningful to you. It may have been an extraordinarily
good experience – or it may have been an experience that did not work out very
well at all! The important point is that it should be an experience which you
would like to understand better. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who,
what, where, when, and how – as if you were composing a newspaper article.
Reflective Observation: Step back from the
situation, look at the experience from your own viewpoint, and from the
perspective of all other parties involved or affected. You want to look at the
circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant point of view. Why
did you behave the way that you did? Why did others behave the way that they
did? Did others have the same positive (or negative) experience? Explain.
Abstract Conceptualization: Interpret
and understand the events you have described by drawing on the concepts,
theories, and models in the background material from this module. Explain how
they apply to your experience. For example, what behavior patterns can you
identify in yourself and others that are similar to the ones described in the
material on communication, teams, and conflict management? Does the model of
Force Field Analysis (home page) help you better understand why people behaved
the way they did? Be sure to apply at least two concepts, theories, or models
and cite all references to concepts, ideas, and/or quotes that you use from any
outside source.
Active Experimentation: What have you
learned about the way groups work from this analysis? What have you learned
from your mistakes? How are you going to put what you have learned to use? What
actions will you take to build more effective work teams in your job?
Conclusion: Sum up the main points of
your analysis and the key learning you are taking from it.
Reference List: List all references that
you have cited in the paper using APA formatting. References include materials
from the required background readings as well as any outside internet or
library sources you used in researching and writing your paper. If you have APA
questions, refer to the optional listings on the background page.
Assignment Expectations
Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully
address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately
and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length
requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate
graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources,
expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized
in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the
topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well
organized and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary
appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are
paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is
justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct
quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does
the submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood and can apply
the background materials for the module? If required, has the student
demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and
quality (library?) sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support
for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student
demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper
citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all
sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment
readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited?
Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been
submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the
module’s due date?
