...Papers should include a critical view of how investigators have made choices regarding each of the important steps in the research process that we cover in class. What we're really interested in at each step is how much a single methodological choice dominates the research area, and therefore the errors inherent in such a dominant choice, that might underlie general conclusions about substantive phenomena. To reduce some of ambiguity about what these choices or points of criticism are, you can use the Martocchio and Harrison (1993) paper as a very loose guide, and you can take cues from the paper grading sheet that I've attached to this syllabus. The text of the paper (i.e., not counting references, tables, figures, and appendices) should not exceed 25 pages of double-spaced (6 lines per inch, 3 of which contain text), Times-Roman 12-point proportional text, with one inch margins. The paper is due by 9:00am on Friday, May 2nd. I want this one electronically. Please email me your write-up as a Word 2003 (.doc) file. I do not accept late papers or give incompletes. You will have already written the initial draft by completing the two take-home exercises, so you have no excuses. We'll talk more about this critique as the semester goes on. As I mentioned above, each of the exercises will also add to the completion of this paper. In past years some students have used the paper to gain deep expertise in a topic area and then...

...Case Study Week 3 Zhengyu Gui dragonfly8563@gmail.com MGMT591 Professor Bodero July 2014 Group Development When developing teams, a five-stage group-development model called the Tuckman Ladder is referenced most often. The model, first proposed by the educator Bruce Tuckman, is consisted of five distinct stages all teams go through: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Each stage is characterized as the following: * Forming: Characterized by a great deal of uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure, and leadership. Not until these issues are sorted out members can think of themselves as part of the team and move on to the next stage. * Storming: Characterized by intragroup conflict. Members accept the existence of the group but resist the constraints it imposes on individuality. There is conflict over who will control the group. When this stage is complete, there will be a relatively clear hierarchy of leadership within the group. * Norming: Characterized by close relationships and cohesiveness. There is now a strong sense of group identity and camaraderie. This stage is complete when the group structure solidifies and the group has assimilated a common set of expectations of what defines correct member behavior. * Performing: Characterized by fully functional group. The group structure at this point is fully functional and accepted. Group energy has moved from getting to know and understand each other to performing the...
