Background: The Case & Signature Assignments represent a continuation of one another, building on each other and integrating course concepts. Although these are two distinct assignments, they are highly interrelated and collectively integrate concepts presented throughout the course.
Both assignments are premised on the fact that you will be planning a research study for the organization you work for. Consider the organization where you are currently employed, or a past organization where you were employed.
In this case assignment, you will integrate concepts from the first four units by preparing responses to the following questions in a 5 to 8 page paper.
1. Describe the problem facing your organization. Be certain to describe the problem in detail and tell me why it is a problem, as well as why it needs to be addressed. Your discussion should include the “impact” of the problem on the organization.
2. Perform a comprehensive literature search specific to the problem you have identified. You will identify and report on at least five studies that have acknowledged the problem that you have identified. Be certain to select empirical research studies.
