Instructions: Research Project: Students will develop a research project that analyzes the management
function in an organization. Students may choose to:
•Develop a policies and procedures manual
• Develop a compensation manual
• Develop an organizational handbook
• Analyze the management function
• Or anything else focused on management
The topic must be approved by Dr. Harbin. The paper should be no less than 15 pages, not to include the
title and reference page. Students are encouraged to include reliable sources, current or past events that
support your material, and personal experiences (be careful with these, as you do not want to come across
as uninformed and judgmental). Student opinions must be grounded by some evidence, theory, previous
cases, or other factual material. This project is designed to guide the student through the process of
analyzing an organization and using management concepts to develop material that can be implemented
by the organization. Therefore, it must be a professional, well structured project.
The research project must be double-spaced and no larger than 12 point font. Supporting documents,
references (APA format, 6th edition), and/or materials must be included within the document and on a
reference page.
