The purpose of this assignment is to individually reflect on how you view the book you read during the course of the semester, in terms of the topics and discussions we covered in class over the same time frame.

TASK - You will give a presentation on the book you have been reading during the semester

25% of the grade for this class will come from a five minute presentation about the book you read and how it applied to this class

Plan to give a five minute presentation about the book you read and how it applied to this class during the final exam period on Monday, 05 May 2025, at 0800-1100 (final exam schedule). Show in it your understanding of some or all of these topics we discussed in class, by citing the discussion or reading for a particular class session, and citing examples of the topic from your book.

• organizational memory
• pros and cons of organizational cultures
• leadership and organizational decision making
• technology and information
• organizational ethics

At a minimum, choose four of the eight topics for your presentation.

CONDITION

You have a list of 125+ titles from which to choose. Read the reviews, consider your interests, and think about how you want to spend your time. Once done, enter your name in the first column to select the title you wish to read and to report on. If someone has beaten you to your first choice, move on to your second or subsequent choice. Each title is to have a single reader.

Read your book over the course of the semester. During the final exam period, you will use it to report to your classmates what you learned from it, and to discuss whether or not they would find value in reading it themselves.

STANDARD

The presentations will be given during the final exam time.

You will each have about five minutes to present your talk, with by some sort of visual support to reinforce what you have to say.
