Project Description
For this SRS project, students will work with me on two applied research projects in management and organizational behavior. The first project focuses on developing original business case studies based on real organizations. Students will assist with background research, outreach to organizations, interview preparation and participation, and drafting portions of the cases. The second project involves the final stages of an open educational resource (OER) eTextbook in management and organizational behavior. Students will help identify and evaluate credible sources, revise content for clarity and accuracy, incorporate short case studies and applied examples, and ensure materials meet accessibility requirements. Depending on student skills and interest, there may also be opportunities to contribute to graphic design work. I am looking for students who write well, pay close attention to detail, are reliable in completing assigned work, and want to deepen their understanding of organizational behavior topics.
