Bolman and Deal’s four frames and Morgan’s metaphors to make sense of an organization you have chosen.
For this Final Project, you will select from both Bolman and
Deal’s four frames and Morgan’s metaphors to make sense of an
organization you have chosen. In doing this, you will create a more
comprehensive way of making sense of behavior and business
processes. You will provide recommendations for action that will
lead to a more productive and satisfying place to work. For this
Final Project, you will review your learning resources and follow
the guidelines below. Final Project (8–10 pages): Select an
organization for which you work or you have experience. You may
also find a case study on an organization, either in the course
materials or through research, but you must have it approved by the
Instructor ahead of time (by Week 5) and ensure it has not been
analyzed within either of the texts. Begin with an introduction
containing the purpose of the analysis, your position, and a
narrative of your guiding principles so that the reader knows what
to expect and the context of your paper. Topic titles after the
introduction (you may have additional subtopic heads under these)
include: Background of the Company (Do not use the actual name of a
company if you need to keep it anonymous.) Rationale for Selecting
the Company A Diagnostic Reading of the Organization and a
Storyline (See Morgan’s Chapter 11 as a guide.) Select the two most
relevant frames of the four that surface in the “reading” of your
organization and provide the issues and possible options.
Structural Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options Human Resources
Frame and Metaphors/Issues and Options Political Frame and
Metaphors/Issues and Options Symbolic Frame and Metaphors/Issues
and Options
Also, include the following:
Identify and Interpret interrelationships of the frames. Suggest recommendations for organizational improvement. Provide a conclusion.
Note: Be sure to write an abstract for the paper, when completed, and follow APA format to include a title page, reference list, and evidence from the resources or other materials you have discovered to support your arguments. Download a Course Paper template from the Walden Writing Center.
Note: Be sure to review Morgan’s Chapter 11 to assist you in the process as well as the worksheets that were used in the example in Bolman and Deal’s analysis on pages 412 and 424. Setting up worksheets like these before trying to write an analysis can be helpful to you in making sense of the dynamics.
