Your research project is comprised of the following activities, which are completed at different times throughout this course: Part I (Topic Selection), Part II (Outline), and Part III (Paper). This individual project will provide you with the opportunity to act as an Organizational Behavior Consultant. You will identify a recent (or current) organizational problem/issue faced by a real-world organization within the past three years. You will explain why the problem/issue is problematic and how it negatively impacts the effectiveness of the organization. Then, you will propose a course of action by applying key principles, concepts, and theories of organizational behavior. Finally, you will recommend follow-up actions (evaluations) for the organization to assess whether or not the problem/issue has been resolved.  

For this activity, use your topic selection assignment and instructor feedback to develop an outline for your research project, which includes the following:

• Identify organizational characteristics, including its history, mission, values, structure, services/goods, culture, leadership, industry, or other information (as applicable)
• Identify key factors influencing (or causing) the organizational problem/issue
• Identify at least two organizational behavior principles, concepts, and theories related to the problem/issue
• Identify at least one solution/recommendation to address the problem/issue, include required actions, decisions, personnel, etc.
• Identify at least one possible follow-up action for evaluating whether or not the problem/issue was resolved
• List a minimum of two resources (excluding the course textbook) to support your work

Your assignment should be 2-3 pages in length (excluding the title page). Use APA formatting with Times New Roman, 12-font, double spaced, with one inch margins.
