Synthesis Paper
This course focuses on organization theories, organization systems, and organization functional components, and it examines various business principles and practices.

This course brings greater clarity to this challenge through examining these various organizational elements. This project assignment will present you the opportunity to demonstrate your learning in the course through writing an academic paper, as the course summary states:
Learners in this course apply theories of organization to critically analyze the organization as an arrangement of systems and develop a holistic understanding of its interrelated, interdependent functions.
