Select the company from the Fortune 500 – https://fortune.com/fortune500/
Prepare a 10-page Research paper on one of the following topics:
Guidelines:
FYI, it doesn’t have to be *just* a Fortune 500 company, it can be a previous employer or even a current one as well, whether they are a Fortune 500 or not. You can analyze and discuss a project or standard operating procedures that you witnessed or went through there, discuss the specs, challenges, risks, failures, aspects that went well, etc. If you’d like you can do some comparing to your current/proposed project you’ve been working throughout the term as well…but I’m most interested in seeing you analyze and breakdown a project of some sort. Be sure to tie the discussion back to content, concepts, and theoretical frameworks that we have discussed throughout the term.
Now, you can also analyze a company that you’ve never worked with. A great place to look for an example is in our current textbook. Beginning in Part Six (page 433), it is all case studies. This would be a great place to find an organization, get the details on a project/operational dilemma, and be in a position to analyze the material in more detail. Of course, you can use some additional research, like looking at the organization’s website and other Internet searches for background info on the company as a whole…but those case studies will provide a great deal of info for you in regard to the content we’re discussing.
