Please refer to the case: “Hancock Products, Inc.” (Answer Q1, Q2, Q3)
This is a project for the managing organizational behavior MBA class. There are no outside references needed for this project other than class discussions and readings. I attached a file that includes some of the class discussions and also attached some files from the readings from the class. It is very critical to use and reference the discussions and some of the many readings attached. Please refer to those things when doing the project. I attached plenty of readings that were offered for the course, so please just use some of them for reference. I also attached the main case “Hancock Products, Inc.” Also, you might want to reference to my current career sometimes if needed. Just to give you an insight of what I do, I am a relationship banker at Chase Bank which is mainly a sales position (investments and deposit products).
