OB

This project will involve your group preparing a

portfolio project that is handed in near the end of term.

The portfolio will consist of media items that illustrate

OB concepts you have identified and we have

discussed throughout the course. For a period of

several weeks, you will be searching all forms of media

(daily newspapers, popular business magazines, recent

movies, news documentaries, television business

programs, and the Internet). Your “deliverable” will be

a collage of media items amassed into one well-

designed portfolio which you will present to your

professor, in addition to an analysis of how these items

reflect OB theories and concepts.

Project Content:
Your portfolio should reflect “OB in Action” and is a

team effort. Determine how the project is divided up

within your team. You may want to each pick one of

the five areas to complete, while recognizing that

everyone must complete the personal reflection section

and the whole project must represent a unified and

cohesive portfolio format.

The portfolio project must contain (at a minimum) the

following FIVE areas:

• companies with interesting organizational

cultures.
• Summary of one movie and
• Three articles from three different popular

business magazines
• Three newspaper articles referring to

business issues

For each of the above areas, you must include a

summary of the item (and if practical, also include the

item, such as the cartoon strip). Next you have to

identify the OB concepts or theories which apply to this

item you are highlighting. Recommendations would be a

minimum of two concepts (and more if its a longer item

of analysis, such as a movie). Think of these two

questions in your analysis:

? What does this item tell you about organizational

behaviour
? How does it apply to what you have learned

throughout class

PLUS one other section that requires personal

reflection by the group members.

• A summary of how the people in your

group have the skills and attitudes necessary to adapt

and thrive in the workplace of today. Referring to some

of the “learning about yourself’ exercises and/or “active

learning” exercises will help support your analysis, as

well as incorporating OB theories. It is recommended

that 2-3 concepts per student are discussed (note: they

do not need to be the same concepts for everyone).

Either synthesize all comments or provide headings with

each student’s contribution.

The key outcome of this assignment is to provide an

analysis as to how these items (or groups of items)

reflect the material we have discussed throughout the

course. Remember, your overall goal in this assignment

is to showcase OB in Action in a creative way through

a portfolio medium. You can prepare it like a report, or

like a scrapbook. The key is that the topics of

discussion are clearly labelled and the analysis is

succinct and well supported. If the link between the

item and the concept or theory is weak, pick another

piece to discuss.
