The following are the requirements for the thesis.

I will send the material for reference after you receive the order.

The purpose of this project is for you to apply what you have learned from this course to understand the business world. You can pick either one of the following two topics (1) identify an emerging trend, change, or new phenomenon concerning the management of people in work organizations, or (2) select a news report relevant to management/organizational behavior from a credible source (from August to November, 2020). You should briefly describe the trend/the content of the news, and then analyze the phenomenon using course materials and concepts. You can write about possible reasons for the emergence of the phenomenon, its potential positive and negative impact, implications for organizations and managers, or how the new phenomenon could be handled. Your project must be clearly linked to course materials; “more is better”: use at least two major theories/models/frameworks in detail to explain the concern and how it might be solved. Sources for identifying the trend/change/phenomenon include personal work experience, interviews with members of an organization, questionnaires, observations of workplace behavior, analysis of organizational documents, trade journals, academic journals, and the business press (e.g., Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal). Do not use a “pre-packaged” case (e.g., from a textbook or casebook). If there is a concern about the confidentiality of a company, it is okay to use a fictitious name.

wEach project write-up should be typed (double-spaced) on standard white paper, and should carefully conform to generally accepted style, footnoting, and reference citation conventions (care must be taken to cite and list all references you use and to avoid anything remotely resembling plagiarism). Write-ups should be neat, grammatically correct, free of spelling and typographical errors, and should have all pages numbered consecutively (yes, “style” does count and will be included as one element in assessing your work). Please use 1″ margins throughout your write-ups and employ 12-point Times Roman font. The written paper should be at least 5 pages but not exceed 10 pages (excluding title page, references, and appendices).
