Which elements of the human relations approach were violated during the operation of Theranos?
Please answer each question in full and with a minimum of 2 specific examples for each prompt. General topics such as Culture, Classical Management, Socialization, etc. will not be considered specific enough for credit. Use the video or podcast as your primary reference. You may use outside references if you like.
Although many of you will do very well in explaining your thoughts, please underline the specific concepts used in your response. This is helpful in case there is some confusion and aids in providing better feedback.
Submissions should be double-spaced, 12 pt font, pdf format
It is recommended that students copy and paste questions and write response under each question. (Hint: I find students are less likely to miss parts of questions when responding in this manner.)
There is no official word or page minimum or limit. Do what you think is right to answer the question in full. Some students are very concise and others need a little more space.
APA or MLA format is acceptable.
Please cite any outside sources. Lecture materials do not need a citation.
