Final-OB Project OB
Organizational project tutorial
Project description: Groups of five are required to prepare a written project report and deliver a
15 minutes, informative presentations on any chosen topic/concept related to Organization
Behavior course.
The purpose of the project is to give your team an opportunity to apply what has been learned in
the course (through course lectures, readings, and discussions) to issues occurring in an
organization of your team's choice. Thus, your choice shall be of a recent study of any company
national or multinational and shall allow you as a group to explore/apply Organizational
Behavior theories and issues and examine the outcomes/responses to those issues.
Your goal is to diagnose the mechanisms that are related to the OB concept/ issue of concern in
the organization. Initially, you may notice many symptoms (for instance, high turnover,
seemingly low morale, low commitment, motivation etc.), but your task is to get to the
underlying reason for these symptoms. And beware, sometimes the initial symptoms we think we
see are not what they appear to be.
Students can go for primary study or secondary study for the project.
The following is the list of suggested guidelines for the group to follow and successfully
complete the group project report as part of the overall assessment of Organizational Behavior
course.

readers can rapidly become acquainted with a large body of material without having to read it all.
