MGT 305: Week 5




These weekly class digests give you an overview of what's happening in class, what readings are assigned, and what assignments are due.


Week 5/Class 1: Human Resources 

ASSIGNED READING: Text, Chapter 12

DUE: Choice of Managerial Shadowing Paper or Book Analysis. More explanation here.


Week 5/Class 2: Human Resources  (continued)

ASSIGNED READING: None

DUE: HR Problem Vignettes Preparation: Prepare at least 3 brief vignettes that illustrate human-resource problems or dilemmas that you have experienced in organizations – either as a supervisor or employee. Consider vignettes that illustrate such human-resource issues as motivation, interpersonal relationships, boss-subordinate interfaces, or others from the reading. Consider the central ideas of the human-resource frame from our re-framing discussion and frame teams to see if they help you understand these experiences in a new way and offer new alternatives for action.
Be prepared to discuss your vignettes in class. You do not need to submit anything in writing for this assignment, which is an ungraded assignment that contributes to your attendance/preparation/participation grade.

Materials will be distributed for In-Basket Exercise to be conducted in next class.
