Looking ahead in your DBA program, the final step in the course sequence is a comprehensive exam. Students must successfully pass the comprehensive exam before moving on to the dissertation phase.
Your preparation for the comprehensive exam should have already started via your study in previous courses, self-documentation of your learning, and completion of the reflection journals with your mentor.
For the
Week 3
paper, you will provide an annotated outline that:
Segments the OB field into at least three
broad categories. You may have more than three categories, but the minimum for this assignment is three. For example:
Individual
Group/Team
Organizational/Environmental
Provides a set of
core topics
beneath each of the broad categories. At this point in your doctoral development, you must have at least five core topics for each category (thus, a minimum of fifteen total). You may have more than five topics for each category (and eventually you will in your preparation for the exam!) but the minimum for this assignment is five topics for each of your categories (or, at least a total of fifteen topics if you have more than three categories).
Integrates one
annotated resource
(key author—with brief description or bullet points of important points the author makes about the topic) for your fifteen core topics. You may provide more than one resource per topic, but you must have at least one resource each for a minimum of fifteen topics.
Synthesizes key learning from working on the guide, next steps you will take working on your guide, and potential benefits beyond comprehensive exam preparation.
