Module 4 – SLP
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND CULTURE
For the SLP 4 assignment, you will explore some aspects of an
organization’s culture, at least as you see it. (Select an organization you
have worked with, if possible.) Since the concept of organizational culture is
open to many interpretations and classifications, this assessment offers a
slightly different approach from your background reading on organizational
culture.
Required Reading
Debra Woog McGinty and Nicole C. Moss have compiled a short
corporate culture survey aimed at identifying characteristics of workplaces.
The categories of workplace description that it generates are fairly
self-explanatory.
Assignment
When you have completed the assessment think about it for a
minute, and how it compares to the Academy, Baseball Team, Fortress, and Club
cultures described by McNamara in the Background reading. Then prepare a 2- to
3-page paper addressing:
Your scores on the McGinty/Moss assessment and whether or not
they fit your general expectations or constitute a surprise in some ways.
Interpret the results of the assessment in terms of your own experience, either
to confirm or to question the results. Compare your findings with the McNamara
categories.
The degree to which the McGinty/Moss assessment and the McNamara
information tell you similar or dissimilar things about your organization.
Do the assessment and the McNamara categories help improve your
managerial understanding and/or skills? What can you infer from the assessment
results about how your organization’s culture fits or doesn’t fit with you?
What (if anything) can you do to make your interaction with the culture more
effective?
Provide your opinion on whether or not the questions asked help
you understand the organization and how you cope with it. Do they accurately
assess what is needed to analyze a company’s culture?
Include the actual results to the survey in an Appendix section
in your paper.
Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in the
SLP rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
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?
