Step 3 Gender Issues in Business

Stage 3

Students will write their paper using the information from Stage 1 and Stage 2 to analyze a real-life situation experienced or observed in your workplace or some other organization.  This is not a research paper on a gender issue but one that you have experienced or observed.  Students cannot make up a scenario.

To complete this assignment, students are expected to explain the situation, provide examples to explain behaviors, and to use the course material and researched material to support your reasoning.

·  Describe the situation in detail;

·  Analyze the differences in communication, problem-solving, and leadership between the men and the women in the situation;

·  Did any stereotypical notions seem to influence the behaviors of the women and the men involved in the situation?  If so, explain what were they?  If not, indicate so.

·  Identify challenges related to gender in the situation described. 

·  Identify best practices that address the challenges identified.

·  Devise three to five action plans that could be implemented to strengthen the behaviors of men and women in the workplace.  Action plans can be implements by HR, a management or manager, CEO, or employee.  Make sure to provide ideas as to why the action plan is necessary or would be useful in the workplace.

·  Do not offer opinion without providing support.
