This assignment is designed to encourage you to think about how organizational communication

concepts and theories are applicable to your everyday life.

Although many of the theories we will discuss throughout the semester may appear to be macro- level theories (i.e. theories of practice and social structure), the concepts related to these perspectives are relevant to everyday contexts as well.

Applying theories to contexts you are familiar with allows you to better understand their utility. Description:

You are being asked to write a theory-application analysis about an organizational context that you are familiar with. In your paper, you will select one theory or theoretical concept and apply it to an organization.

Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double spaced, 1- inch margins, and free of spelling and grammatical errors.

No outside research is required for this assignment, but relevant passages from the textbook and/or assigned readings should still be cited properly in-text.

o Please follow Chicago, APA, or MLA citation standards when quoting material directly from the text.
