Deliverable Length:
PowerPoint presentation: 6–8 slides (100 to 150 words per slide of speaker notes). Currently, you are done meeting with the four vice presidents, and Jared the CEO has called you into his office for a quick meeting to discuss next steps.
Jared states, “I want to give them some background on organizationalbehavior so we have certain common knowledge about organizational development, motivation, needs theories, and so forth.”
Later that day, as the OD consultant, you sit down at the computer and pull upyour writing about the organizational behavior theories. The time you took to write down information about the major theories will be useful for the PowerPoint presentation you’re preparing now. Bycomparing and contrasting the theories and then talking about it with the vice presidents, you hope to shed some light on gaps in their understanding about how individual behavior affects the organization.
So, in essence, the assignment is asking you to create your PowerPoint slides based on the fundamentals of Organizational Behavior. First, describe differing theories on organizational development, motivation and needs theories, and then compare and contrast the theories by providing strengths/weaknesses and pros/cons for the theories.
