Paper 1: Leadership factors (total write up: 5 pages) – Must related to the case and clearly explains the concepts and dynamics that you seek to address, with the selected theoretical framework – Write about explanations of that selected theory and recommendations related to the case Paper 2: Comparison of different Theoretical Frames and Case Study (total write up: 14 pages) – Develop Conclusions and Recommendations for Action – MUST follow the Template as attached for write-up – Compare and Contrast Theoretical Frames, the first step is to review all three theoretical frames: • human factors: explanations of organizational phenomena that are rooted in individual people (refer to File 1 as attached) • organizational systems and structures: explanations of organizational phenomena that are rooted in complex interactions between and among people, policies, tasks, and environments (refer to File 2 as attached) • leadership factors: explanations for organizational phenomena that are rooted in how leadership is executed( this is the write up the you have just completed as in Task 1 above)

Paper 1: Leadership factors (total 5 pages)

–      Must related to the case and clearly explains the specific Grandville concepts and dynamics that you seek to address, identify the one theoretical framework that will provide the most value to the owners in understanding what’s happening at Grandville.

–      Write about “explanations” (breakdown as below: 1) Introduction (0.5 page), 2) leadership factors concept graphic (about 2.5 pages, insert the above graphic/model in), 3) Recommendations (2 pages clearly explains the specific Grandville concepts and dynamics that you seek to address, by implementing this model), 4) Reference (about 12)

Paper 2: Making Grandville Grand again (total 14 pages)

Develop Conclusions and Recommendations for Action

–      Please MUST follow the Template as attached (File name: Template:GVE)

–      Compare and Contrast Theoretical Frames (Organizing and Notetaking)

–      know that the first step in such a comprehensive effort is to review all three theoretical frames:

·      human factors: explanations of organizational phenomena that are rooted in individual people (see File 1 as attached)

·      organizational systems and structures: explanations of organizational phenomena that are rooted in complex interactions between and among people, policies, tasks, and environments (see File 2 as attached)

·      leadership factors: explanations for organizational phenomena that are rooted in how leadership is executed( this is the write up the you have just completed as in Task 1 above)

·      a short summary of your research efforts

·      a comparison of the three theoretical perspectives, including all three concept graphics

·      an explanation of your chosen theory

·      a rationale for why it is the best theoretical explanation

·      the three final recommendations for action that emerge from the lens the theory
