Instructions to their own organizations where students are able. This assignment requires students to look at an innovative organization that they personally find interesting and perhaps inspiring. 1. Select an organization from the following list - that you feel demonstrates sustained innovation. 2. Find information about the organization - you may wish to interview employees, or do some primary-source research about the organization (e.g. through company reports). It is okay to focus on only one innovative aspect of an organization which, in other respects, is not innovative. 3. Describe what identifies that organization or part of that organization as innovative in your estimation. 4. Write a formal paper describing what contributed to that organization being innovative. Identify underlying concepts, techniques, and processes that sets this innovative organization apart from other similar organizations. 5. Provide hypothetical arguments or generalizations as to why you feel this organization is innovative, based on both the innovative blocks they avoid and the organizational attributes they demonstrate. 6. Your paper should be 1,000 words, excluding the title page and reference page. 7. The paper should be written in APA referencing style and format. References are to also follow APA format. 8.
