REPORT FORMAT

Project Theme: Analyzing an organization from the Organizational Behaviour(OB)

perspective. The organization must be an established and operational organization and not
any fictitious one. The analysis should be carried out by conducting an interview with a
manager of the organization.

In this (2,500) words report the students will select an organization on their own and describe
how this organization has implemented OB practices that have strengthened the organization.
They will also look at how the organization has innovated and improved on these practices as
well as point out specific areas where further development is still needed.

1. What OB concepts have you observed in practice?

2. What OB concepts learned have been innovated on further in this organization?

3. What OB related recommendations will you give for their improvement?

The field report is intended to sharpen a student’s ability to observe individuals and teams,
diagnose causes, propose and evaluate application of concepts, theories and practices for human
resource and organizational development. The report will also link strategies to systems,
structures and behaviors that enable or hinder the organization from achieving its desired results.
