Becoming a college student means that you have a responsibility to apply knowledge to advance your field and to make the world a better place. Through practicing critical thinking skills, we learn not only to avoid being manipulated in our thinking, but to fully support and provide evidence for our ideas. Your Critical Thinking Journal, if you kept one, will help inform your final project.

Option #2: Construct a powerpoint or prezi presentation of at least 10 slides (not counting title slide or reference slide) including speaker/lecture notes for each slide.

Instructions:

Begin the process of constructing your project by choosing a particular issue or problem. It could be related to your personal life or career path. The goal is then to align this problem or issue with a specific logic model from the text and/or other critical thinking tools you have been learning throughout the course. As you construct your presentation, utilize critical thinking tools to evaluate your data and your credible research, interpret this data, and understand your specific problem or issue from a broader, deeper and more focused perspective. Accessing and implementing credible research from the CSU Global Library is vitally important in the process of constructing your final presentation as it will also be important in all your future coursework.

In constructing your presentation, utilize and integrate the Elements of Thought from Chapter 5, pp. 104-122.

Your paper must:

• Cite at least 6 scholarly peer-reviewed sources that are not required or recommended readings for this course. You may include a credible website. (The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these resources. You may cite the textbook, but that does not count as one of the scholarly peer-reviewed sources.)
• Incorporate terms and concepts from the class readings and lecture pages.
• Be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

You have been asked by IKEA to make a suggestion for an organizational chart that IKEA can consider to better support its international strategy. Let’s assume that some top IKEA executives like and want to keep the current structure. (See for this structure.) http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/this-is-ikea/company-information/index.html#organization However, recently there has been pressure from a few IKEA leaders to consider that the company must become more innovative in its approach to global expansion. To complete the new proposed organization structure, review the IKEA case study from Chapter 8 of your textbook. Then review some additional information about IKEA on the internet. Also, review the organizational design elements. Make sure you fully understand the concepts presented in Chapter 9 of the textbook (Foundations of Strategy, 2nd Edition, by Robert M. Grant, Judith J. Jordan 2015, PP 274 to 277). Decide what you think would be the best organizational structure for IKEA at this point in time, based on the strategy implementation concepts presented in the textbook. Be aware that you will need to substantiate your recommended organizational structure changes, or justify your recommendation to keep the current structure. Then use the internet to find a free software program that can be used to develop an organizational chart (or you may choose to develop the organizational chart in Word using these instructions). Potential organizational chart software options include Gliffy, SmartDraw, and Lucidchart. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-organization-chart-21ada00d-82e6-4340-9033-439ac2843c37?CorrelationId=97248d86-f584-4917-82c2-c44350da560c&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US&ocmsassetID=HA010354860 https://www.gliffy.com/uses/org-chart-software/ https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/examples/orgchart_software Include the following elements in a well-written paper: • Introduce the thesis of your paper (what you will be presenting). • Introduce your organizational chart(s). • Discuss and explain how you determined that this structure should be implemented by IKEA. • End with a summary statement of the highlights of your paper. Your paper should meet the following requirements: • 3-4 pages in length, not counting your reference page(s). • Formatted according to academic writing standards and APA style guidelines. • Include citations from the textbook in support of your position, as well as citations from at least two additional outside, credible sources. Be sure to include a reference page formatted in APA style.
