Bus4013, [u08a1] Unit 8 Assignment 1, Course Project Paper Part 1 – Draft
Overview
You will write the paper for your final project in three stages, with three separately graded submissions—Part 1 Draft in this unit, Part 2 Draft in Unit 9, and the Final Paper in Unit 10. The final paper will be an integrated paper that includes both Part 1 and Part 2, any changes based on instructor feedback, and additional information and analysis where required.

The overall purpose of the project is to demonstrate your understanding of how organizational structure and learning influence performance and how the principles and concepts related to organization design can provide a basis for making good business decisions. To do this, you will present interpretive findings from your interview, explain how theories, models, and paradigms about organization design apply to the interviewee’s organization, and make recommendations for your organization in today’s hyper-competitive and rapidly changing environment.
