Task:This assignment is designed to enable you to apply what you have
learned in this course.

Work place Report Topics:

·
Developing and managing
effective teams

·
Managing diversity in the
workplace

Within your analysis you should discuss how you would expect
the organisation to be managed based on the relevant theory or textbook
suggestions. You should then analyse how it is actuallymanaged, and
note the differences from your theoretical expectations. In doing so, you should
seek answers to questions such as:

·
How does the organisation
conform to the theory on the two areas identified above?

·
Are there differences
between theory and practice?

·
If your answer is ‘yes’ to
the preceding questions, what are the reasons for these differences?

·
Write relevant specific recommendations for your organisation; for example, suggestions for change, and/or
further development,for each of the above two concepts.

Your choice of the organisation for this assignment is very
broad. It may, for example, be:

·
the organisation in which
you work (the whole organisation)

·
a department, unit or
section of the organisation in which you work (if the organisation is large)

·
a club or society with
which you are associated (for example, sports club, social club, theatre group
etc)

·
an organisation about which
you can obtain enough information to analyse its management structure and
process (you need not necessarily work in this organisation).

You should discuss the organisation with your course
co-ordinator if you are in doubt.

You should identify your
connection with the chosen organisation, for example, employee, employer, etc.

Reports will be confidential between your tutor and yourself.

Note: an organisation
chart should be included in your presentation as an appendix.

Length: 2000 words. (The word count does not include
