Mgt3046-Theoretical Concepts And Models Assessment Answer

Assignment

Implementation of change is a tricky and complex process that is not always straight forward. The success or failure of a change lies heavily on how well the change is managed, particularly with regards to managing resistance. Your task is to identify a company that has undergone a change over the last 5 years and critically evaluate the implementation of the change. You are expected to focus on a 1-2 year timeline of related change(s) implemented. The key objective of this assignment is to gather, critically analyze and evaluate relevant information related to the management of change. 

Requirements

i.Provide a brief overview/background of the company selected.

ii.Identify key changes implemented during a specific timeframe in the company that you would like to focus on and critically discuss why these changes were needed (e.g. due to declining profits a new CEO was appointed and he worked on changing the organizational culture).

iii.Critically evaluate the implementation of these changes that lead to a success/failure, with a particular focus on discussing how resistance to change was managed with the stakeholders involved. You may identify both things that were managed well and why, and/or those managed not well and why- provide recommendations.
