• Option 2
• Final exam:
• Managers…
• Human beings are complex, and few, if any, simple and universal
principles explain organizational behavior;
• Because we are not alike, our ability to make simple, accurate, and
sweeping generalizations about ourselves is limited;
• Two people often act very differently in the same situation, and the
same person’s behavior changes in different situations;
• Continuing globalization: the world has become a global village. In the process,
the manager’s job has changed. Effective managers anticipate and adapt their
approaches to several global issues;
• People skills: help to explain and predict the behavior of people at work through
relevant concepts and theories;
• Social media: social media is a difficult issue for today’s managers, presenting
both a challenge and an opportunity for OB. For instance, how much should HR
look into a candidate’s social media presence?
Some challenges (#3/3)
• Employee well-being at work: the typical employee in the 1960s and 1970s
showed up at a specified workplace Monday through Friday and worked for
clearly defined 8- or 9-hour chunks of time. That’s no longer true for a large
segment of today’s workforce because the definition of the workplace has
expanded to include anywhere a laptop or smartphone can go;
• Positive work environment: researchers in this area say too much of OB research
and management practice has been targeted toward identifying what’s wrong
with organizations and their employees. In response, they try to study what’s good
about them;
• Be creative!
• Photo must be collective and should reveal somehow their unity and
synergy
Group II Case incident 1 – Chapter 7 Motivation in the Hong Kong Police Theory
Group III Case incident – Chapter 8 Attaching the carrot to the stick
Group IX Case incident – Chapter 9 Why don’t teams work like they’re
supposed to?
Group XI Case incident – Chapter 4 Can you read emotions from faces?
Don’t forget!
• All groups should solve the case study outside class. This case study
will be presented in the classroom (according to a previous
timetable);
• Additionally, groups should be prepared to answer questions from
the teacher and/or audience;
Each team member must be prepared to cover all presentation
topics!
• The group members will all receive the same grade for the
presentation;
• The resolution of the case study should be supported by theoretical
inputs (according to the topic/chapter of the book).
Use what you have learned!
• Creativity and innovation are strongly encouraged, as is the use of
visual and technology support;
• The essay is due the day of the oral presentation.
Also...
• Midterm exam: 31 October.
Enjoy!
