Organizational Analysis Paper due:

Consider the organization where you work. Examine your organization in terms of three metaphors presented by Morgan. Your paper should describe your organization in no more than one page, then should address the following as it pertains to the metaphors under study in your organization:

What are the critical elements of the metaphor?
What do I see when I view my organization from this lens?
How do my observations relate to the concepts studied?
Are there problems/issues needing resolution based on this lens?
Are there opportunities/benefits apparent from this view?
What can I conclude about my organization when viewed through the lens of this metaphor?

The final section of the paper should provide a summary conclusion about your organization when viewed through a metaphorical lens.

My organization is not traditional. I am on a top 25 division 1 basketball team in the SEC which in this case is considered my “profession”. So the paper is asking you to choose 3 metaphorical lenses mentioned in our textbook (Morgan, G. Images of Organization. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.) to view the basketball team and athletic administration as a whole through and explain based on the prompt questions.
