Discuss how theory helps explain what is going on – You should be able to find a theory or OB concept we have discussed in the textbook.

The purpose of
the rope analysis is to discover and examine methods and techniques for
preventing and/or dealing with typical mistakes and common issues that often
confront managers in the workplace. Some of the lessons to be learned may seem
obvious, while others may give you that “aha!” feeling. Regardless,
it will be important to inform your analysis with theory and research. The
depth and diversity of your work experiences will also play a major role in the
richness of these discussions. Most students find this a very pleasant
experience — it seems that everyone has a story to tell.
1.
Lesson to be learned – There may be more
than one lesson to be learned so find the most prominent lesson to be learned from
your perspective. As already stated, there may be more than one lesson learned
so there is no one perfect answer. You should be able to explain this
succinctly in a paragraph.
2.
Discuss how theory helps explain what is going on – You should be able to find a theory or OB
concept we have discussed in the textbook. You can find supporting material
outside the textbook as appropriate. This section should be no more that 2-4
paragraphs explaining the theory and how it relates to the lesson learned. It
is important to link the rope and the theory/OB concept together in a way that
demonstrates an understanding of the theory/OB concept.
3.
What personal experiences relate – This section is for
you to relate your personal experience to the rope and OB/concept. Do not rehash
the theory/OB concept in the personal experience section. This section should be no more than 1-2
paragraphs
Use sub-headings to help guide the reader through
your analysis.
