Organizational behavior

In this course, you are assigned to a team with the opportunity to analyze an organizational problem or issue and generate recommended solutions based on guiding principles of organizational behavior learned in the class. As part of this project, you will work with team members to collaborate in the completion of a presentation for Module 10 Team Project.  

Throughout the course, you will need to communicate with your teammates in order to develop skills in working with a team, research and consider the perspective of those who work or have worked within an organizational setting, and apply the organizational behavior concepts from the course in generating solutions to organizational issues and addressing opportunities for improvement. Team discussions are assigned in Modules 3-9 to provide you a space in which to share ideas, document your communication, and collaborate in the building of your project due in Module 10. 

While you will probably not be able to complete this project based only on these discussions, this is a great place to begin communicating and building your team dynamic. You may use other means of communication (i.e. Zoom, Google Hangout, Facetime or email). However you must participate in these discussions to capture and document your work in the development of the project. Team discussions are limited to assigned team members and faculty and in very rare circumstances MCC administration. 

Rules of Engagement:

In this discussion, your team will establish rules of engagement in determining preferred communication methods, frequency, and expectations:   

Share your availability in working on the team project. When is the best time during the week to engage in collaboration?

Identify expectations in collaborating on the team project. What are your expectations of team members in posting to team discussions and responding to communication?

Plan for the unexpected. What challenges could you experience? As a team, how will you respond to these challenges?

Your initial posting should be at least 200 words. At least two replies to your teammates’ postings are expected. In effective team discussions, you are tasked with furthering the discussion and may consider asking questions or sharing your own experiences relative to the posting and team project.
