First Research Proposal: Toward the middle of the semester, you should submit a short paper of about 4-6 pages (using 12-point font/Times New Roman, 1-inch margins on each side, double spacing, excluding references, tables, and figures). This paper should outline your initial thoughts or plans for your research proposal in this course. The purpose of this assignment is to provide each student with an opportunity to contemplate how an interesting and significant facet of organizational change could
be conceptualized and examined. Proposals will be assessed based on qualities such as clarity, scholarly merit, and creativity. Additionally, I anticipate that your proposal will expand upon the current perspectives of the topic by incorporating your own ideas. Following the submission of this preliminary draft of your proposal or review, you will receive written feedback from your peers and the instructor within a week to aid you in enhancing your work.
