2. Content scope, depth and critical thinking (70%):

3. Writing style and originality (15%):
The writing style and the paper layout should meet the requirements specified in the coursework guide (available on Moodle). References should be reliable and credible.

Objective: The objective of this
coursework is to give students an opportunity to apply knowledge from the
module to a real-world case.
Requirements: This coursework asks you to:
1) Select ONE real-world
case that is relevant to organizational behavior (OB).
You should choose a
real-world case that you have enough information to analyze. It can be a
company or a person, but it must be a REAL case (i.e., a specific company, a
non-business or non-profit organization), or a specific person (e.g., a
manager, a professional, a worker). When public information is not available,
you should provide detailed information collected through first-hand research
methods, e.g. interviews or survey.
Please also note that
you are NOT ALLOWED to select a case that was already analyzed in class, in the
ppts, in the seminars, or in the readings (book chapters, journal papers or any
other readings recommended by the lecturers).
2) Analyze the selected
case in light of AT LEAST ONE of the organizational behavior theories taught in
class. Below are topics and key theories (you may select a theory outside the
table below, but the theory you choose must be taught in class or in the
textbooks).
