Students will submit an in-depth report of 4000 words (excluding references) that will assess the students ability to align theory with practice and skills to manage challenges of organizational change in your place of employment. Assessment details are as below:
1. Identify a substantive change, which was made at your workplace.
2. Discuss the precedents, key issues and reasons leading to the situation necessitating the change.
3. Identify relevant literature from research journals, provide a review of the current state of managing organization change, and discuss how the research fits into the wider context of the situation selected by you.
4. Critically analyse the situation. What was the significance of the problem? How was the current situation being effected in the absence of change? What was the proposed change? How was it implemented and managed? How did the individuals receive the change? What were the challenges experienced during the implementation of the change? Was the change management successfully implemented? What were the learnings from this process of change management?
5. What inferences do you draw from this change management situation, what are the conclusions and what are your recommendations for an effective change management process? What theories and/or models would you apply in your proposed solution and how would they be applied?
6. Your report should be a critical report about the change management process, reflecting good depth and breadth of your knowledge, analytical skills and competencies acquired during the course.
7. The selected organization should be your own organization. In situations where confidentiality of the organization needs to be maintained, you may change the name and avoid mentioning any sensitive information or data. It is imperative that you take

the aspect of confidentiality seriously and refrain from any disclosures of sensitive nature in your report. Avoid selecting organizations such as Apple, Google, Facebook, etc., or organizations with which you have no association. Reports based on such organizations are not acceptable. Please also refrain from selecting organisations such as ADNOC, Etisalat, Du, etc., as the basis of your report, unless you are employed with them.
