Assignment: Description: Organizational Case Analysis involves writing a description and analysis of an organization that the student works in or has worked in. The description and analysis is typically between 1200-1500 words. It has three major sections as well as a title page and a reference page. The sources for the analysis can be from any of those that are provided in or linked from the document named "dimensions of analysis for HW1" in the assignment folder. You may also cite web or print documents about the organization that you have selected to provide background information.

OVERALL PURPOSE of CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT

The purpose of this assignment is to unravel your feelings and thoughts about what is/was going on in an organization that has played a significant role in your life/career. The goal is to use the lens of organizational theory to help uncover and understand the major contributors to organizational behavior which have had an influence on the organization's success or failure relative to you, the organization, and society.

The mental, physical, and emotional energy that we exert for our employers is tremendous, not to mention the time. However the dimensions of organizational life are often tacitly accepted and taken for granted, much like water is accepted by the fish. The goal of this assignment, and of the entire 630 experience is to rise above the water to examine organizations and see them in a different light.

Your description and analysis will run between 1,000 and 1,500 words. You will follow the outline below.
