Here’s my topic: (Resolving Conflict Between Management and Employees During Organizational Change)
- Conflict: Resistance to change (Restructuring, layoffs etc..)
RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
You are to select a conflict and explain how a leader using conflict resolution skills could resolve the problem. Be sure to do more than to just describe the situation. Suggest possible solutions. The paper could address any type of conflict: international, business or workplace, personal or organizational. You should use authoritative sources for your paper, preferably academic sources. You will probably want to use Galileo from the library.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, and free of typing, grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. You should use the APA citation style. Wikipedia should not be used to do the research, and no more than 50% of the sources may be from websites. (Not including the online articles from the Library.)
Any websites used must be reliable, such as that of the U.S. State Department, a university webpage, etc.
The paper must include at least five sources and be at least five pages long. (Not counting the cover page.)
Students will be graded on the basis of a number of factors including thoroughness, research, accuracy, clarity, correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and overall presentation. I have attached the rubric that I use for grading.
The paper should be submitted under Assignments in D2L. All assignments will be evaluated by Turn-it-in. The use of any sources without properly citing them will be considered plagiarism, and the paper will be given a score of zero.
To use proper citation, see (choose one of the citation sources like Purdue Online Writing Lab/ OWL) and
Do not hesitate to contact me if you are not certain if your topic is appropriate. It can involve something with which you are personally involved, but you do not have to tell me that is the case unless you want to.
