Asg05 - Due on WEDNESDAY, 3/13

Individual Blackboard Assignment #5
Due on WEDNESDAY, 3/13
 
In the "student edition" of the premium content site, go to the Manager's Hot Seat section and complete Scenario #15: Working in Teams: Cross-Functional Dysfunction. Review the profiles, references, scenario, and dossier before you create your report.
 
In this case, however, do not just answer the question about what Joe Tanney should do to make the implementation a success. Indicate as well what Joe—and probably Joe’s boss, Jeffrey Dillon (see Dossier exhibit 2)—could have done at the outset to prevent or minimize the challenges Rosa and Simon present to the completion of this project. Feel free to include aspects of team size, motivation, mutual responsibility, “virtuality,” perception management, etc.
 
As in previous assignments, you must answer the questions posed during the scenario, include them in your report, and paste the resulting text into a Blackboard discussion entry.  

(Once you see the assessment on your screen, you should  select email on the bottom of the screen.  Then copy/paste that text into your “report,” which you copy in turn into a discussion thread—titled Asg05—that gets posted on Blackboard.)
