Task Description:

The purpose of the case analysis is to demonstrate your understanding of theory and research on organisation change/development and their application to a specific context.

There will be three cases pertaining to organisational change and development. Each case will involve a range of internal and external
issues specific to a given organisation. A host of organisational actors, e.g., CEO, Company Secretary, Directors, Line Managers, Supervisors, and other relevant external stakeholders are supposed to find solutions to the situation the organisation is facing. Based on the chosen/assigned case, you are required to write a case analysis report individually.

The requirement is to put yourself in the role of an ‘internal change agent’ and prepare a report for the management to have your proposed change strategy approved and implemented.

Further information and a copy of the rubric will be available in the Assessment Task 3 folder on MyLO.
