Purpose of Assignment
The assignment for Week 4 gives students a chance to examine their own decision-making process as well as use a creative method to illustrate the stages of the process. This gives students the opportunity to take their real world, personal decision and relate it to their future work and careers.
Assignment Steps
Develop a 700-word evaluation of a recent business decision in your work or desired career.
Include the following:
- Discuss the influence the decision-making process had on the outcome.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the process. What stages were most challenging and why.
Create a “Decision-Making Process” infographic in an appropriate format for the organization based on the action plan. This can be done using Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Microsoft®Publisher®, Word, or sites such as Glogster® and PiktoChart®.
- Select a decision you made recently as it relates to your work or desired career.
- Identify the stages of the decision making process as it relates to your decision.
Format consistent with APA guidelines.
Hello Class,
I just want to chime in and clarify some things about this week’s individual assignment.
1. This assignment has two separate deliverables. A 700 word paper and an infographic. I often have students forget one or the other or try to mix the two. Leaving one of these off will result in an immediate 4 point deduction from your grade.
2. Please make sure you are research infographics before you start working on them. The biggest mistake I see people make on this is that they will turn in a PowerPoint presentation. A PowerPoint is not an infographic and turning in one for this assignment will result in a substantial loss of points.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
