Final assessment managing people and organizations

You do not need to quote the movie word for word. Just talk about the main idea.

Note: All your answers should be between two and four pages in length. You do not need to use every theory in the book/lecture to answer each question (in fact we would prefer you do not do this!). Rather pick one or two theories and apply them appropriately and you will get the marks. I have instructed the TA, Christina, that the hard limit in terms of pages for this final assignment is 25. Anything more than that will not be marked. I have also told Christina to take off 5 marks if the referencing is not done correctly.

MANAGEMENT THEORIES: Which of the management theories covered in the course best explain the management style demonstrated by: (1) the Local Fishing Board (i.e., the Fishing co-op) and (2) the company set up by Frank Rossi and the local Fishermen? How do the theories that they use impact how they manage the people who work for them?  15 Marks

PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT: Look at the experience of the local fishermen through a psychological contract lens.  What insights does the theory shed on their experience working for the Local Fishing Board? What was their pinch point. 15 Marks

Marks

Writing and Referencing: You will also be marked on your writing (ability to explain yourself well, logically argue your point, grammar, spelling) as well as your ability to use references appropriately (you must use APA!) You should take care to make explicit any assumptions you have made along the way. 10 Marks

Good luck. Linda and Christina
