Project: "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" about Amazon

Overview: This team assignment involves preparing and delivering a presentation that identifies

a particularly good, bad or ugly action or set of actions taken by an organization or its members

in the last year (i.e. between Jan 2022-Current Day), and analyzes that action using management

theories and concepts. A "good" action is one that has positive implications for employees or

stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, or society at large. A "bad" action is one that has

negative implications for employees or stakeholders. An "ugly" action is one that is intentional,

systematic, and morally reprehensible.

Purpose: This assignment is designed to (a) provide you with an opportunity to apply

management theories and concepts to a contemporary issue in a real organizational setting of

your choice, (b) give you practice working in a team, and (c) offer you an opportunity to stand up

and deliver a formal presentation in front of a group in a safe and supportive classroom

environment.
