MBA 525 Professional Development: Company Crisis Assignment

Company Crisis - Group Project

From the Syllabus:  

Group Project

Each student, as part of a group (groups are determined by the instructor of record) are required to write a 15-page (minimum), double-spaced paper that analyzes a crisis that a company recently went through.  It should examine the leadership (how they addressed the crisis), communication plan surrounding the crisis (if there was none, provide one), and overall response to the crisis.

This project, as part of the communication plan, should analyze the company’s use (or lack thereof) of social media, web sites, blogs, press releases, media releases, press conferences, etc.  The paper is an academic paper following APA writing and citation guidelines. The paper includes a critical analysis of the relationship among different works (articles). You must use at least 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles to build your project.
