Increasing Age Diversity in the Workplace

Overview

These case studies will provide you with the opportunity to analyze five separate organizational scenarios that allow you to practice and demonstrate your understanding of human behavior. These case studies are designed to develop your skills in analyzing various organizational scenarios dealing with communication, conflict management, demographics and diversity, emotions, motivation, and so forth.

Guidelines

Case studies allow you to investigate organizational challenges within a real-life context. Scenarios focus on something real and particular that you can apply for continued learning.

Your case study analysis must be in APA format. Be sure to include a separate title and reference page, a brief abstract, an introduction, subheadings, and a conclusion. The requirements for this assignment are 4 to 6 pages in length (not including title and reference pages), double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations. Failure to adhere to these requirements of submission will result in the paper not being graded.

Instructor feedback: Students can find their feedback in Turnitin.
