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.inc.com/articles/2001/08/23312.html”>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.
SLP Assignment Expectations
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?
