AUM Organization Structure and Behavior Growing Managers Case Study

Please read the case I uploaded and answer the questions according to the notes and instructions I provided.

Question: If you were the HR director of ColorTech, would you keep Richardson on the current team, or send her back to Chicago? If you decide to keep her, why and how? If you want to send her back to Chicago, then why?

*Note:

1. Please consider organizational factors/problems that may be at play in ColorTech’s Phoenix office that may be affecting Richardson’s ability to lead and motivate her team.

2. You need solid evidence to support your opinions. The evidence should come from 1). The case I gave you; 2). Credible outside sources such as The Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and any other TRUSTED academic/business sources.

3. Please keep in mind that you are not searching for evidence to support the case; you are searching for evidence to support your own argument, therefore the answer you submitted should be full of YOUR VOICE supported by the evidence. Please do not simply summarize the case or the outside sources that can support your opinion.

*Some feedback from the last assignment (Just for your reference, these feedbacks are for the ENTIRE CLASS)

-Make sure to include in-text citations as well as a reference list (in APA 7)

-Make your sentences shorter, and make your paragraphs shorter (Keep one main idea in one paragraph!)

-Make your writing concise – do not repeat what you said above over and over

-Do not just repeat, rephrase, or summarize the case or what the supporting articles say. Instead, UTILIZE them to support your own argument. Make your voice!

-Relatedly, in utilizing others’ work, take into account specific situations and environment around our case, especially for the managerial recommendations, what should be considered and prioritized?

-Be critical and constructive from a managerial perspective – what to improve and how to improve an organization and its management.
