Course Project Outline:
This format provides a framework for organizing and presenting the lessons from
each student's case. NOT FOLLOWING THIS FORMAT CAN AFFECT YOUR TERM PAPER
GRADE.
Module One: Key Players and Case HighlightsThis module jump-starts each student’s
case. This module represents a student’s introduction of his/her assigned case. This
module/post should resemble a movie trailer in describing broadly who and what is
involved in your case. Use any sources you wish in creating this module, as long as
you appropriately cite those sources.
Module Two: Organizational Functions, Structures and Administrative Processes
Describe carefully the business of your “case organization(s).” Was your organization
public, private or non-profit? Describe the governance structures of your
organization. Was there a Board of Directors? Was the Board Chair also the CEO?
Whatever the formal arrangement, how independent was the board from
management? What was the CEO’s (or Commissioner’s or Executive Director’s)
leverage in terms of tenure protections, contract provisions, longevity or other
factors relevant his/her exercise of power? If your agency was public, what was its
reporting chain upwards towards the jurisdiction’s elected executive and/or
legislative body.
Module Three: The Human Dynamics, and Culture, of Your Organization(s)
Broadly characterize the “ management style” in your organization. Reference
several bases for your characterization to guard against a “single voice” defining how
your organization was run. Characterize the “ operator culture” of the organization,
its attitudes and practices. How critical was this culture to the organization’s
effectiveness, or ineffectiveness, in the face of the crisis it confronted?
