Purpose:This assignment seeks to have the student identify, and evaluate the internal and external factors that influence organizational behavior by researching and analyzing scholarly articles.Your manager overheard you telling a colleague that you are taking a graduate-level organizational theory class at UMGC.

Lately he has felt that he has been overwhelmed with changes which require he and his employees to quickly respond to situations that he cannot always solve effectively.
