Assignment 4: Resistance And Communication
Using the organization that your instructor preapproved, diagnose the
organization’s level of resistance and construct a solid communication
plan. Use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video
recorder to record a maximum of a five to seven (5-7) minute dynamic video
on the topics detailed below. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six
(4-6) page paper instead of the video submission.
Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the
video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to
Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service,
such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file.
Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.
