Current Management Understanding

During the past seven weeks, you have been on a journey to better understand the concept of management and how today’s and tomorrow’s managers and leaders will need to navigate complexity. This learning activity will help you pull together what you have learned so that you can use it in your careers

Requirements

• Reflect on each of the previous seven weeks.
• Briefly describe eight management concepts (one from each week) that you can apply to your management career.
• Be as specific as you can.
• Whenever referencing concepts from course materials, be sure to provide in-text citations and references.
• Respond to a minimum of three classmates by Saturday at midnight in the following manner — select one of the concepts highlighted by your classmate and describe how you could also use that new knowledge in your management career.
• Read the grading rubric for the project.
• Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.
• Third person writing is required.
  • Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).
  • If uncertain how to write in the third person, review the Quick and Dirty Tips at http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
• Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
• Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks.  Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document, but put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document.  Not using direct quotation marks means that there should be no passages with quotation marks and, instead, the source material is paraphrased as stated above.
• Provide the page or paragraph number when using in-text citations.  Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
• You may only use the course material from the classroom.  You may not use books or any resource from the Internet.

Self-Plagiarism

Self-plagiarism is the act of reusing significant, identical or nearly identical portions of one’s own work.  You cannot re-use any portion of a paper or other graded work that was submitted to another class even if you are retaking this course.   You also will not reuse any portion of previously submitted work in this class.  A zero will be assigned to the assignment if self-plagiarized.  Faculty do not have the discretion to accept self-plagiarized work.
