Thus, your choice shall be of a recent study of any company national or multinational and shall allow you as a group to explore/apply Organizational Behavior theories and issues and examine the outcomes/responses to those issues, Your goal is to diagnose the mechanisms that are related to the OB concept/ issue of concern in the organization. Initially, you may notice many symptoms (for instance, high turnover, seemingly low morale, low commitment, motivation etc.), but your task is to get to the underlying reason for these symptoms. And beware, sometimes the initial symptoms we think we see are not what they appear to be. Students can go for primary study or secondary study for the project. The following is the list of suggested guidelines for the group to follow and successfully complete the group project report as part of the overall assessment of Organizational Behavior course. ( ).
