TEXTS AND READINGS There is only one text for this course which the schedule and lectures follow. Students are also required to read the supplementary readings (listed below) which provide a guide to go deeper into a specific subject. These are classics in the respective areas and are interesting. Extra credits will be given for incorporating these sources into group projects, case presentation and other in-class activities. On top of the textbook and the supplementary readings, there are also cases and short essays from various sources such as Harvard Business School, Fortune, Business Week, Economist, and Wall Street Journal. 1) Organization Theory and Design by Richard L. Daft, Jonathan Murphy, and Hugh Willmott (second edition) (Co-op). 2) Supplementary readings will be updated (downloadable in the workbin of IVLE) COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND GRADING Your grade will be determined by your performance on the midterm exam, a group project, 3 class presentations, attendance & participation, and individual essay. The percentage of your grade accounted for by each of these components is listed below, as is a description of each component. Midterm Exam: 25% Project: 25% (Final Presentation) Class Presentation: 20% (Case 10%; Debate 10%) Att. & Participation: 20% Individual Essay 10% Midterm Exam (25%): This would be a closed-book exam in the middle of the semester. It usually includes MCQ and short essay questions. The exam questions cover the textbook, the assigned cases, supplementary readings, and the content of our class discussions. The date for the exam is listed in the course schedule. The venue for the exam will be announced later in class. The format is subject to change. Group Project (25%): You will be required to form groups of 6-7 people to work on your final project. Groups will be required to analyze a problem or situation currently faced by a business organization using concepts discussed in class. The project is due to present on Week 13 (April 13th & April 14th). Detailed directions for this project are listed below. All group members will receive the same grade for the group project. However, each student is required to evaluate the contributions of his or her group members to the group efforts (group project, case presentation, and debate) by using peer evaluation sheets that will be provided later in the semester. Individual grades may then be adjusted based on peer evaluations. The range of adjustment depends on individual situations (normally plus or minus 20%).
