TOPIC:
How can an organization maximize the extent to which its managers take an outside view in their decisions?
Pick a specific type of organizational decision (e.g., hiring, firing, picking a vendor, acquiring a company, etc.) and be specific in your prescriptions.
Be aware of potential resistance to these changes. HINT: Do NOT simply repeat the steps from the reading or describe what a well-known company currently does.
MUST READ ALL

Write-ups have a strict 600-word limit and are penalized for exceeding 600 words Shorter write-ups also tend to do poorly. Aim for 500-600 words.
Include the word count at the top of the document (e.g., "Word Count: 598").
Hint: Please do NOT define terms or write an intro, conclusion, or background. Quoting directly from readings is almost always a bad idea.
DO make sure to do the readings thoroughly. Knowledge cannot be faked.

COMMENTS FROM PROFESSOR for Memory, Emotion, and Mindlessness
Good job identifying some of the six principles and how they might apply in this context. However, it would be nice to see some more detail to back up the principles and demonstrate your understanding, because it is a bit vague how liking and consistency apply to this scenario.
Also, the example you give for social proof might better serve as an example for authority, because he is seen as an expert.
