soci 2500 Week 2 Assignment | Tulane University

Please submit a collaborative document (either Office 365 or Google Docs) with the answers that your group writes for these discussion questions on The Insider. All group members should help in answering these questions, but only one needs to submit the assignment.

PART ONE:

1.      There were a number of organizations depicted or discussed in the film The Insider. Please identify THREE (3) organizations from the film and then answer the following questions about these three organizations:

a.       What do these organizations DO (based on their intended or explicit organizational purpose—that is, what are they supposed to do as an organization)?

b.      What did these organizations ACTUALLY do (or not do) as depicted in the film (directly or indirectly)?

c.       What were some positive and/or negative consequences of the actions/behavior of these organizations?

PART TWO:

1.      Construct a typology using these same THREE (3) organizations by placing them in a broader category of type or types (e.g., what type of organization is your Organization #1?):

a.       These categories should broadly define the type of organization with regard to formation, purpose, and actions/behavior.

§  So, for example, Tulane University is an organization that is: (a) an educational organization, (b) higher learning/college educational organization, and (c) private college educational organization, as well as (d) a nonprofit organization and (e) an employer (one of the largest employers in New Orleans).

b.      Do all or some of these organizations fall into multiple categories of organizational types, at least based on your group’s categories (For example, Tulane is a private college educational organization but also a nonprofit organization)? Explain.

c.       Do these purposes (based on your typologies) sometimes come in conflict? If so, how and why?
