CA451Communication and Leadership in Groups and TeamsWeek5Discussion – Evaluation and Argument

Guidelines: Research shows that students who are engaged in their courses learn more and stay in school. The traditional undergraduate classroom where lecture rules can get in the way of student learning— this class is full of discussion to help you remain engaged with the material and your peers. You must post a research-based, thoughtful, and substantive initial posting for each weekly topic. You must also provide a quality research-based response to two fellow students’ initial postings by Sunday. There is no word limit here but the contributions should be quality contributions, meaning they promote active discussion. Scholarly arguing– discussing differences of opinion and supporting those opinions with evidence and reason without getting emotionally involved in the argument– is a key skill that is developed in school and will serve you as you work in groups or continue your education. Play devil’s advocate. Periodically argue for the side you disagree with– you’ll be better at seeing arguments and better able to take other people’s perspectives– a key communication skill. Ensure all writing is error-free and have correct APA citations and references.

Directions:

Write Two Paragraphs:

  1. Find a piece of information on a controversial topic on the web. Do not use traditional news sources.
    1. For your initial post, give us that piece of information and include a link (citation/reference appropriately) to the source where you obtained the content.
    2. For additional posts, argue in support of a peer’s evaluation.

Requirements: Looking for a more in-depth guide with all the details.

Case Study: Developing Transnational Groups

Case Study: Developing Transnational Groups

Use the assigned chapters and the “Interpersonal Relationships in Transnational, Virtual Teams: Towards a Configurational Perspective” article located on this week’s University Library Resources page to complete this assignment.

Read the following case study scenario:

In a recent merger, two companies combined; one company was located in the United States, and the other company was located in Japan. Although both companies are now a unified business organization, offices will be kept in both countries. Because of this merger, transnational groups are now being formed with employees from the United States and from Japan.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that addresses the following:

  • Define organizational culture, and discuss how an organization’s culture can affect its members.
  • How might individualism and collectivism affect the functioning of the new transnational work groups in this scenario?
  • Discuss strategies that can help transnational work groups be successful and effective when meeting face to face.
  • Because transnational work groups will generally work virtually, discuss strategies focused on helping virtual, transnational work groups be successful and effective.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

 Think of this essay as a formal history essay,

 Think of this essay as a formal history essay,

 

1. Think of this essay as a formal history essay, with one centerpiece (the artifact) around which you build your argument. Do not use the first person: Do not start a sentence with “I” or “we”. Use a formal style like what you would find in a textbook or encyclopedia.

2. Your argument (presented in your thesis) is your argument about what artifact teaches about the time period during which it was created.

3. For help with preparing history essays, view the following:

4. Sources: You are required to use at least three academic books or articles outside of the textbook to provide more information about your object and/or the time period in question

  • You must include a short bibliography at the end of the paper. You may use MLA format
  • You should use footnotes or in-text citations throughout the paper (depending on the citation style you choose: Chicago or MLA). This lets me know where you found your information.
  • Do not use websites. You can use academic articles or books from the library.
  • Encyclopedias do not count as academic sources. They are references. They can be good starting points and can give you ideas about the terms that you will search for while trying to investigate your object more deeply, but use them only as a springboard to get to academic sources (written by someone with credentials in the field of history or related fields like archaeology or religious studies).
    • You can list it in your bibliography.
    • The library has several encyclopedia online, which you can find by clicking the Articles button above the search box on the library home page and scrolling down.
    • It does not count towards the three academic sources you need to fulfill the criteria of this paper.

To be included in the paper:

  1. Describe the object, its historical context, and its significance in the first paragraph. Describe it physically. Include a brief introduction of the time period and the location where it was created. This will lead to your thesis.
  2. Your thesis should illustrate your analysis of the object: It should be a clear statement which makes an argument about the links between the object and its historical context, and what that illustrates about the people who created it, and the time period in which it was created. Your thesis should be one sentence at the end of your first paragraph.
  3. Describe its historical context in detail in the body paragraphs.
  4. Include evidence from your academic sources to support your thesis statement. You can use quotes or paraphrases.
  5. Cite the quotes and paraphrases that you include in your body paragraphs. You may use MLA or Chicago styles. Use in-text citations or footnotes when you do this. It is not sufficient to include it only in your bibliography at the end
  6. Make sure there is information coming from additional sources. See above. Provide background. Do not focus only on the object. Include all sources in a bibliography. The bibliography does not count towards the 4 page requirement.Please find my annotated bibilography that I prepared for this paper with professor’s feedback for reference.

Requirements: 4 page
