Current Students		Student Projects Commerce 2301 Students Link Theory and Behaviour Teams of students in the course Organizational Behaviour, taught by Dr. Judith Holton, used public documents to research and analyze a wide range of organizational behavior concepts in public, private and not-for-profit organizations. This enabled students to extend their understanding of important concepts such as organizational values, stakeholder influence, workplace diversity, employee engagement, emotional labour, and innovation. For many students, this was a first opportunity to undertake organizational research. To initiate students to the world of research using public documents, Commerce Librarian Anita Cannon offered two library research seminars in mid-October and provided additional assistance to individual teams as requested.

The students presented the results of their research at a Poster Presentation reception on the evening of November 24. Posters represented organizations as diverse as the Terry Fox Foundation, Air Canada, Bombardier and the Royal Ontario Museum. Fourth year Strategic Management students attended the reception and assessed the posters, posing questions and offering constructive feedback. In addition, each team also submitted a full report on the results of their research. Prizes were awarded to the top four posters: First Prize: • Virgin Atlantic (Students: Samantha Lebans, Amanda Burns, Will Nelson, Mike Smith) Second Prize: • Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (Students: Jen Jackson, Mandy Burgess, Greg Stewart, Mark McCumber) Third Prize (tie): • CBC (Students: Pippa Gherson, Mike McKinnon, Jason Patterson, Ryan Kay) • Sobeys (Students: Ray Mason, Melanie Landry, Christine Schweitzer, Kevin Miller) ARTiFACTS: 60 and counting ... Students in Dr. Rosemary Polegato's fourth year Arts and Culture Management course collect information about the arts sector in Canada and present it in a two page profile. Over the past two years, 60 students have contributed profiles of visual artists, performance artists, museums and galleries, festivals and events, heritage and arts associations. The profiles provide information through text and visuals about the likes of Brian Burke, Mary Pratt the Group of Seven, Karen Kain, Ship’s Company Theatre, the Nova Scotia Museum, the Miramichi Irish Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. The ARTiFACTS assignment has been presented at two conferences, and colleagues in other disciplines have adapted the concept for their courses. To see an example of a project, click here.
