Leadership Term Project:
A term project is required for this class and counts for (20% of final grade). The project described as follows: Choose a company/organization i.e. aviation/aerospace; government; industry, or academic/non-profit and then conduct an analysis of the company/organization, to include (as a minimum):
• Charter/mission
• Organizational structure
• Organizational culture
• Management style and philosophy
• Accomplishments – last 10 years
• Alliances/partnerships (with other organizations)
• Stakeholder analysis (who are its funders, customers, beneficiaries, etc. — Who has a stake in the organization’s performance?)
Project Parameters and Resources:
To avoid duplication among the class, your choice of company/organization must be approved by the instructor prior to beginning research. The length of the term project is a minimum of 3000 words, exclusive of front matter, figures and tables. Grading will be based on content and adherence to required format. The project will be written in the style set forth in the current edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). Students will be expected to research their projects using a collegiate library, or the Jack Hunt library through the Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach campus.
