Final Reflection Paper –

 

As part of your final assessment, you will prepare a short reflection paper that describes the evolution of your detailed understanding of the organizational development process over the course of the semester. In organizing your paper, you should focus on two of the various components of the management covered in the course:

o Ethics

o Leadership

o Organizations

o Power

o Empowerment
o Political
o Social
o Economic

In selecting your topics, you should focus on the two areas in which you feel your knowledge has grown the most or about which your pre-existing biases and opinions have changed most significantly. For each of the two areas that you select, clearly identify what you believe is the single most significant issue, problem or question facing future marketing executives, policy makers and leaders. Justify your selections, then based on all you have encountered in this course, suggest two initiatives that you believe could help effectively address each problem or question. Support your suggestions with at least one citation of the literature or course materials, each.
