Description
The purpose of this paper is for students to take management theories presented in this class and the text and apply them to themselves. Students are to identify their own management strengths and to consider two to three of specific management tools offered in this class. Students need to then apply that information and design and explain what they feel would be their ideal work role and environment. This is going to be a personal paper that is backed up by the data from this class.
Based upon:
- What you have learned about yourself and your management strengths;
- Two to three of the most useful management techniques that have been offered in the text and in class discussions;
- What you have learned about the business marketplace.
Using the above three criteria, design your ideal position. The purpose of this paper is for students to take management theories presented in this class and the text and apply them to themselves.
