Summarize and examine the role of power in organizations. Identify and discuss the different sources of power noted in the text. Examine how power is acquired and used.

The majority of your response should be your own original writing based on what you have learned from the textbook and outside materials, if applicable. Be sure to provide a citation and a reference for any materials used, including the required textbook. The following points are designed to help you understand how to provide proper citations and references for your work:

• Sources are listed in two places.
• The first, a citation, is briefly listed within your answer. This includes identifying information that directs the reader to your list of references at the end of your writing assignment.
• The second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list of references section.
• All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough identifying information so that the reader can access the original material.

More detailed information about citations and references can be located on the Coast Connection student portal. You can find this in the portal by clicking on Student Resources and then Writing Lab.
