In 1-2 pages, provide a description of two to three problems identified. Your description need not be elaborate but should provide enough information to enable someone unfamiliar with the organizational issues to understand the focus of your study. This portion should be just the facts, a description, not an analysis of the key events. Make sure to support your assertions and information regarding existence of organizationl issues you are describing with supporting citations.

After you have set the foundation, apply theories, concepts, and principles learned from the course to analyze your chosen organization and its identified problems. Make sure to support your analysis with supporting scholarly sources.

Lastly, provide a personal and biblical perspectives that discuss what you would implement to address the problems to move the organization forward as part of the evolving changes for organizations today. Provide application of theories to your perspectives.

· Minimum 3000 words – body of the paper (not including the title page, abstract, and references)

· Support from the Bible

· Support from 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed sources

· Support from the course textbook (Daft)

· Support from Merida text

· Title page

· Abstract

· Reference list

· Adherence to the APA-7 Professional version format including but not limited to title page, headings, margins, page numbers, citations, references, font, line spacing, etc.
