AIM OF NEWSLETTER: produce a creative newsletter for all employees within a large fictitious organisation around current issues in organisational behaviour.
CONTEXT:
Assume that your group is composed of the HR manager and Marketing manager for your organisation. The organisation CEO has called upon you both to complete the task, based on your collective expertise as organisational behaviourists. She requests that you put together an informative company newsletter on selected Organisation Behaviour topics relevant to a contemporary workplace. The newsletter is aimed at informing organisational staff, who may have little knowledge of organisational behaviour, about topics that are relevant to current workplaces and their own work. Your newsletter should focus information and advice on ANY TWO organisation behaviour topics. *DO CHOOSE FROM THE LIST OF TOPICS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED A PDF FILE NAMED ‘CHOOSE 2 ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR SUBJECT TOPICS FOR NEWSLETTER’
REQUIREMENTS OF NEWSLETTER AND INFORMATION YOU SHOULD WRITE ABOUT AND INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIAS BELOW:
1) You should aim to develop short, informative pieces of WRITING A TOTAL OF 980 WORDS INCLUSIVE OF 2 TOPICS (650 WORDS FOR THE 1ST TOPIC AND 330 WORDS FOR THE 2ND TOPIC)
– Each written piece should clearly identify and conceptualise the topic, explain its relevance to understanding and managing behaviour in organisations and provide clear and concise guidelines to address any issues or improve behaviour and the performance of the specific organisation.
2) While these written pieces should be designed to inform, entertain and look extra creative, they should be LINKED TO RELEVANT ORGANISATIONAL THEORIES AND EXAMPLES !!
3) VERY IMPORTANT !! DO READ THROUGH ALL THE PDF FILES I HAVE ATTACHED FROM TOPIC 1-12 as it contains relevant organizational behaviour concepts and content which you must apply and write about ALL THE CONCEPTS APPLICABLE TO THE 2 TOPICS YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO WRITE ON.
4) DO INCLUDE EXPLANATIONS & REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS AND EXAMPLES OF THE COMPANY AND STRATEGIES/ACTIONABLE STEPS THE COMPANY CAN TAKE. MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CONCEPTS YOU HAVE APPLIED FROM TOPIC 1-12 ARE LINKED TO THE 2 CHOSEN TOPICS YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND LINKED TO THE CONTEXT OF THIS ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR CREATIVE NEWSLETTER.
5) Since this is a creative assignment, student groups have choice as to how they wish to present their newsletters. Newsletter should be readable and user-friendly and be provided in a format that allows for electronic distribution. The major deviation from what you may see used in industry is that correct application of APA style referencing is an expectation and strict requirement for this assessment (use in-text referencing along with a list of cited references).
6) References – You need to review at least 8 academic references. Academic references should be peer-reviewed or from credible newspapers and business magazines. References from other students’ papers, wiki, blogs, online dictionary etc are inappropriate and referencing information from these sources will result in immediate failure.
7) Explore ANY 2 of the following subject topics for the newsletter which i have attached under files. The PDF file named ‘CHOOSE 2 ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR SUBJECT TOPICS FOR NEWSLETTER’
8) DO INCLUDE REFERENCES PAGE IN APA FORMAT (ALPHABETICAL ORDER FROM A-Z) AND 8 IN-TEXT CITATIONS. USE ARIAL FONT SIZE 12

It is the systematic analysis of the relationship between context – other individuals, groups and organisation structures – and the actions of the individual. We use a case study approach to our exploration and discussion of the following topics. In our increasingly globalised business environment, all these are considered in an international context.
