Following a careful review of the assigned course materials for this unit, read Case Study 10.1: Open Communication at 3M in the Neck et al. textbook. The case is in Chapter 10. Then, draft a formal academic composition in which you respond to the questions posed at the end of the reading.

The responses should reflect higher-level cognitive processing (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation). Students should consider the demands made of decision-makers, as their choices can impact stakeholders within the organization and in the external marketplace. No minimum number of references exists for this assignment, but appropriate business (no Investopedia, Wikipedia, etc.) and scholarly sources must be utilized to support the analysis. Opinion is insufficient to demonstrate a graduate-level understanding of the course materials and topics.

• The submission will not exceed three (3) pages in length, excluding the title and references pages.
