Information and instructions for the project are attached. Please note that just coming to class does not earn you participation points, but not coming to class can make you lose them. You are expected to actively participate in class discussions because your informed opinion is valuable and it does count. A company or organization which you can research using secondary sources such as information available on the Internet. The projects will be conducted by teams of two students each, but exceptions can be made depending on the circumstances.
Students can select their teammates.
Clearly, the issues will differ to some extent from organization to organization. For example, providers of IT such as IBM or Sun Microsystems face somewhat different issues than users of IT like Stop and Shop Supermarkets or Staples. Try to identify the relevant management issues for the organization you choose, gather the information you need, conduct your analyses, and make suggestions or recommendations. If you want to discuss your ideas with me, I will be happy to do so. The project paper should summarize your research findings, analyses, recommendations, and predictions in a clear, concise, coherent fashion.
