Brief Proposal of Research assignment.

You have to select an organization that you think it has some type of behavioral problem. The problem could be related to employees such as Lack of motivation, engagement, or commitment.

The problem could also be related to the organization itself such as lack of after sales support, dishonesty, or unfair treatment of employees.

Then you download the template an answer the questions

Make sure you answer the 3rd question in a form of question. Such as:

How does Walmart behavior towards their employees hurt their business reputation?

Finally, I have included all the TCOs in the template. For the last question, all you have to do is to identify the TCO ( or TCOs) that is related to the behavioral problem which you have identified.

Also note that you will continue this project :

1. A brief overview of the chosen organization and your role in it.

2. A brief narrative description of the organizational behavioral problem that you would like to research and resolve.

3. A preliminary behavioral problem statement in the form of a researchable question.

4. Which TCO(s) your problem is related to?
