Organizational Problem Concept
You have selected a current, real-world, and researchable business topic that is a problem, challenge, or issue. In this paper, introduce, characterize, and discuss the problem, challenge, or issue (you can announce the name of the organization, but you can also announce “Company ABC/Company XYZ” in case the organization needs to/should remain anonymous).
In at least three (no more than four) well-developed paragraphs, discuss the industry, sector, company type, products (goods) and services, and employee make-up of where the problem, challenge, or issue is existing.
- Provide detailed context about the problem so that any reader can understand the background of the problem. Consider this information to be the “in-take” or “triage” information. Use industry, sector, and practitioner-based reports, statistics, and news to assist with developing this paragraph.
- In at least one (no more than two) well-developed paragraph, discuss one (1) organizational theory that relates to the problem, challenge, or issue being addressed in this paper.
- Be sure to search the Library Databases and Internet for scholarly resources that discuss organizational theories.
In at least two (no more than three) well-developed paragraphs, discuss the ethical implications (to the management / leadership of the organization, the people of the organization, the industry, and the broader society) of resolving and not resolving the problem, challenge, or issue.
- Discuss the benefits, potential barriers, setbacks, and roadblocks associated with resolving the problem, challenge, or issue.
In one well-developed paragraph, write a one to two sentence problem statement.
- The problem statement announces the specific problem, challenge, or issue that will be investigated through the research literature.
- The problem statement addresses what is unknown, what is unclear, what needs to be fixed, what needs to be changed, or what needs to be further researched.
- The problem statement is a brief, definitive statement of a specific problem, challenge, or issue that you hope to investigate as a result of reviewing the available research literature around the problem topic.
- The problem statement should be clear, concise, definitive, unambiguous, and readily understood by anyone who reads it.
