MGT 550 Module Four Small Group Discussion Guidelines and Rubric
OverviewAssume you are a manager and you have just discovered that an overseas contractor, who is a major supplier for your company, has recently been revealed as operating with poor working conditions for their employees (uses child labor, pays low wages, requires long hours, provides no benefits, etc.).
Draft one internal communication that you believe will effectively address the issues of the above scenario. Your message must accomplish the following:
Clearly identify your target audience(s)
Provide an overview of the situation
- Promote the strategic goals of your company
- Use an appropriate tone
- Ensure the appropriate message is communicated in your post. Remember that your target audience will likely vary in terms of culture and gender. Post your proposed communication.
- Review two other classmates’ internal communications in your group. Identify areas of success and suggest areas that could be improved. What changes could be made to your peers’ messages to make the communications more effective based on your interpretation of the message? Remember to keep the tone of your comments positive and constructive. You are reviewing the communication, not the person. Consider the following questions in your response:
How effectively do you think this message is framed?
How effective is the business logic?
How effective is the tone?
Support your critique with appropriate resource citations.
- Requirements for Submission
For your initial post (1), you must do the following: - Craft an internal communication to address the issue presented.
- Take into consideration material such as relevant grading rubrics, course content, and other assignments from the current module and previous modules, when appropriate.
