Integrative Group Project

Appendix A:

At beginning of October, for the Integrative Group Project, group 8 was assembled, originally consisting of 8 members; David Cervini, Josh Galasso, Grant Gauthier, Keya Jaekel, Lisa Laku, Luting Liu, Chris Mousseau and Anika Tasnim who we’re all business students. Our group got off to a great start with one and another. As a group, we all agreed on which business organization we were going to research. Within a few days, we chose the Canadian National Railway Corporation. The Canadian National Railway Co. was a business organization that none of us really understood which was a perfect match for this project as we were previously advised by our business professor to choose an organization which we were not familiar with so it …show more content…

Our group wrote up a team contract and quickly started working and researching the Canadian National Rail Co. We used Facebook group chat as our main source of communication and created a Google Docs document so each member could add or edit information written inside. We met a few times during Phase 1 and worked in Leddy Library or online. However, like many groups, we did encounter minor setbacks, for example, not everyone was able to come to meetings, and often found conflict with the allocation of time to other midterms/exams while working on this project, which led to deadlines approaching quicker than expected. The approach group 8 undertook was going about and splitting up the various components that led up to the corporation's business structure and value creation, by researching and writing about that specific topic and then coming together to make it flow as a single research report. Unfortunately, after receiving our Phase 1 group project mark, our group quickly realized we did not completely follow the rubric on Phase 1 and as a result our group received a poor mark. Our group also, forgot various components required for the APA format including, a table of contents, inputting in-text citations, having proper introduction and

    Every time that a group project is assigned I look everywhere in search of hardworking people, but unfortunately this is rare nowadays. I personally do not like working with a group of people, it is a waste of our time for a number of reasons. People are more dependent on one another and expect the job to be done for them without even trying. This affects the way we are now, things are not supposed to be easy and just magically be solved; it defeats the purpose of working together with each other and learning. I agree that more people can serve as a power source for more research, but it still isn’t sufficient enough for those who just act like fools and don’t get their work done; the one’s that are goofing around can distract the rest of the group members and convince them to join the dark

    Groupthink is a process of conformity to a group ideal that may or may not be true. It stems from lack of conflict, disagreement, or challenge to the direction of the group. In simple terms, if a group leader or president were to surround themselves with like-minded individuals there would be very little disagreement or conflict and the decisions of the group may not be the best. Historical examples include Nixon’s Watergate fiasco, and Kennedy’s Bay of Pigs catastrophe. The term groupthink was first introduced by social psychologist Irving Janis in 1972.
