Objective: The group project is a written report (case study) on the management
practices of an organization with the main emphasis on highlighting excellent
management practices and techniques.
Choice of Organization: The Company you select may be one of your choosing, but it
should be one that has displayed exemplary practices or achieved excellence in some
way. The company may be large or small; for profit, not-for-profit, or public. It could be
a fairly new startup or a long-established company, but there must be enough information
available about the company to provide data for you to prepare a thorough report. You
may wish to select a company of some size you are more familiar with and for which you
may have better access to information.
Content of Report: The report may be thought of as a short case study of the
organization's management plans, strategies, accomplishments, etc., and how and why
they have succeeded as a result of management. This is not a comprehensive report about
the entire workings of the company or a report on its products. The emphasis is on the
management.
Research Methods: In order to gather the information, you will want to use the World
Wide Web, the libraries (CAIS) and their databases, financial data, the organization’s
Annual Report, and interviews with key management personnel (via phone, e-mail, or in
person). You will most likely gather more information than you can put in the report, so
you will be expected to take only the best and most relevant data for the report (do not
include material to "pad" the length).
Once you narrow down your data, organize it into a logical report (beginning, body, and
ending), which has a summary and logical conclusions. Because this is not a long,
comprehensive report you must concentrate on the most important key aspects
(attributes) of the company’s management practices and outcomes. Therefore, you should
Length and Format: The body of the report must be a minimum of 8 pages (double-
spaced).
