1. ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR, TASKS FOR SUBMISSION To be submitted latest by 11:59 AM, 30th August 2014. Instructions: Your submissions will only be read by the instructors for internal evaluation purposes. Be assured that your submission will neither be shared with other students, nor be discussed in the class. You can find our written comments when you collect your work back. The total internal evaluation is for 35 marks, and the break up for each assignment is indicated in the brackets aside each assigned task. The total marks for individual assignments add up to 32 marks. The additional 3 marks are a bonus which can be gained by making sure that all the assigned tasks are done. We will really appreciate if you could, at the end of your submission, also include your feedback about the course. 1. Note on C4ISR [Zero] 2. Finding an article that indicates an explicit OB challenge, and the lessons you learnt from reading the article [One] 3. Read this article and write what you have learnt: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/indias-new-hr-challenge-managing- multigenerational-workforce/ [Two] 4. Reflective note on EDP participation experience (those who did not get to participate in EDP should reflect about any other significant experience they had during the course and write about it) [Three] 5. Reflective notes on experiences when you felt (i) someone was behaving rude to you and (ii) someone was behaving nice to you. [Five] 6. Reflective notes on things that (i) you like to do and (ii) you want to avoid. In both cases, you should explore deeply and report the reasons that make you like or want to avoid. Be sincere. [Eight] 7. Reflective note on your experience working with the group on the field task. Those who missed this task should discuss alternatives with the instructors. [Thirteen] Scheme of evaluation: The nature of assignments in this course draws highly subjective responses. There are instances where we found students finding ways of finishing formalities such as making some submission but not showing enough evidence of learning derived from the course. Objective methods of evaluation were not preferred since they do not give students a fair chance of learning at their own pace. However, we are stringent in our expectation that you would be responsible for defending your submissions if we find them inappropriate. You could avoid hassles by making sure that you relate your write up to the learning from course, to the extent possible. And that means, you may have to read and re-read your course material, because one barometer for our evaluation is your familiarity with the language and terminology of the subject. Wishing you all the very best. Vinay Kumar Chaganti, PhD Vidisha Garg, MBA
