DIAGNOSIS PAPER: The theories and concepts taught in this course will only contribute to your business success if you apply what you have learned in the classroom to your everyday experiences. The objective of the diagnosis paper, due on July 15, is to give you some practice in looking at your life through an organizational behavior lens. For this assignment, you will reflect on an organizational problem that you have experienced. I use the term “organizational” quite broadly; you can write about an experience at a summer job, on a sports team, a school workgroup, or any other situation in which you worked with other people for the purposes of completing a collective task. Once you have selected an organizational problem from your past, you should describe and diagnose the problem using concepts from the course, outline the factors that contributed to the situation, and discuss how the concepts could have helped you and/or others deal with the situation more effectively. The paper should be between 5 and 8 pages, double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1” margins around. The Diagnosis Paper will be graded on the following criteria:

Organization and structure: The paper employs a logical framework and analyzes a critical issue (i.e., well defined organizational problem).

Depth of analysis: The paper demonstrates a thorough diagnosis of the organizational problem. The paper draws on, applies, and extends OB concepts covered in the class, and is well integrated with course readings, lectures, and discussions.

Creativity and insight: The material is presented in an original, engaging, and interesting manner, and is presented in a persuasive style.
Style: The paper is professionally written, using appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Evidence-Based Conclusions: Students should support their conclusions with evidence as opposed to relying solely on intuition. The best evidence is to source academic work via Google Scholar, Galileo, etc. Practitioner websites are generally considered weak and biased.

Academic honesty is expected in this course. Please be aware that plagiarism is a serious violation.
There are still more powerpoints of the material but I could only upload 5 so I will send you the rest later.
