Business Issues

Discussion Board Forum Instructions
Note: The audio PointeCast lessons that are required for citing in both posts are not to be confused with the PowerPoint summaries from the textbook. Also, remember that a major theme of these lessons is how the biblical idea of covenant can provide a solid foundation for organizational leadership and behavior. When you cite them, make sure you build upon that major theme and apply it to the ideas in your posts.
Thread: Choose one business issue such as work teams, decision-making, conflict, power, communication etc. from your own professional work experience or peer-reviewed journal articles. Apply a total of 2 different concepts (such as evidence based decision-making (EBDM), forms of conflict, political tactics in the organization, etc.) from Chapters 9–13 of the Kinicki & Fugate textbook to the issue you are discussing. Relate the chosen chapter concepts from your reading to the business issue in a way that demonstrates understanding of each concept. Review the Discussion Board Forums instructions document and grading rubric (found in the Assignment Instructions folder) for detailed assignment requirements. Each thread must be 500–750 words.
The following 4 sources must be included in your thread:
⦁ The textbook; Kinicki, A., & Fugate, M. (2018). Organizational behavior: A practical, problem-solving approach plus Connect. McGraw-Hill. ISBN: 9781260180909.
