Principles of Management
WHO IS A MANAGER? WHAT IS AN ORGANIZATION?
Welcome to Week One threaded discussion questions. As you will observe, the Excel file is attached at the end of this message. There are five questions from which you are required to select one based on your Team. The idea is to spread out the topics to give broader coverage. The rule is very simple. If you are in Team A, you select Question 1, Team B, select Question 2, and in Team C, you select Question 3, and so on. For your second post (done on a different day), you respond to another student from a different Team. For example, if you belong to Team A, you can only respond to students in Team B, Team C, and so on. That is pretty straight forward. Here is a PERFECT concession I have for you, as noted below:
*If you do not attend the OnLive Forum you will be graded based on your three posts. 5 points, 5 points and 10 points for a total of 20 points. The 10 points are assigned to the mandatory Reflection Post (made via Video recording, or Audio or Voice over PowerPoint).
**If you attend the OnLive Forum, you will be graded on your First and Third posts. 5 points and 15 points for a total of 20 points. The 15 points are assigned to the mandatory Reflection Post (made via Video recording, or Audio or Voice over PowerPoint).
Note: Our OnLive Presentations for MGMT 303 is scheduled from 6:30 PM – 9:20 PM (Eastern Time) on Tuesdays (click on DeVry WebEx). The OnLive presentation will be recorded, in the event you are unable to attend.
