    MODULE: Managing Change

    Interpret the concepts of change management using appropriate


    CLO1 Exam
    techniques and principles (C5, PLO2).
    Propose various perspectives on change management for organisations Individual
    CLO2
    to apply through a presentation (A3, PLO5). Presentation
    Discuss feasible approaches and models for change management in Individual
    CLO3
    organisations using past and current practices (A2, PLO8). Essay

    This is an individual assignment represents 60% of the total marks for this module. The
    write-up for this assignment carries 50% and the remaining 10% for its presentation.
    Students are requested to choose and select an organisation of their own choice and to
    use it as a case study for answering the dynamic changes that have happened in the
    organisation.
    Based on your selected organisation cases study and on your additional research
    (journals, books, reports and other reliable sources ) answer the following questions.

    SUBMISSION: JANVIER 27 2020

    Question 1

    Based on the organisation that you have selected, identify and discuss the organisational
    change dynamics that have occurred in the organisation. These change dynamics could be
    external and/or internal pressures related to the organisation chosen. Students are required
    to evaluate the effectiveness of the changes implemented by the organisation to improve
    organisational effectiveness and efficiency. 
    Also consider how well these changes subscribe to the taught models and theories and to
    provide a critical review of these changes and their effectiveness to sustain the
    competitive advantage of the organisation.

    Question 2

    Leadership approaches and change situations are evolving rapidly due to much
    uncertainty in the business environment. Different leadership styles are required in
    different change situations so as to bring the organisation forward.

    Based on the organisation chosen by you, critically assess and evaluate the leadership
    styles and behaviour in managing change in your selected organisation.

    Question 3

    Organisations can be seen as cultures. As such, the compatibility of strategy and culture
    is essential for effective organisational change. Critically discuss and evaluate how the
    organisation you have chosen manages its cultural barriers and risks to achieve its desired
    goals. You may use the theory of managing culture and its approaches to help you in your
    evaluation.

    Each individual student is responsible for his/her own academic work, research and final
    outcome.

    1. You are REQUIRED to use proper referencing methods for this assignment –
    Harvard Referencing System.

    2. The assignment should be well structured and the use of proper headings for topic
    separation is encouraged.

    3. The assignment must follow the standard academic format:


     Font : Times New Roman
     Font Size : 12
     Spacing : 1.5

    Assessment Guidelines
    Grading Criteria

    Level 3 modules require that work carried out will incorporate most of the following
    features:

    Fail (Below 50 marks):


     The essay will lack the structure, content and use of appropriate terminology that would
    be expected from a student able to conduct a disciplined analysis of Managing Change
    issues; or make appropriate conclusions following a critical evaluation of a range of
    theoretical strategic options.

    3 of 5
     The essay will not demonstrate ability for independent thought and is therefore unlikely
    to contain a recognisable critique of academic literature although it may “list” some
    theories/concepts that might, or might not, apply.
     The essay will not balance academic theory and the practical application of such to a
    well-described change issue.
     The report will provide little, if any, evidence of the student having "read around" the
    subject matter. As such the essay will contain few, if any, academic references or, if
    they do, sources are unlikely to be consistently and/or accurately cited and referenced
    using Harvard.
     The essay may be inconsistent in approach as well as content - sometimes minor areas,
    or inappropriate theories, might be discussed at length while relevant or seminal theories
    are omitted all together. Indeed it may not be clear exactly which theoretical area or
    practical problem the student is critically analysing in the report
     Any conclusions to resolve the change issues discussed will probably not result from a
    disciplined analysis of the problem or a critical evaluation of a range of theoretical
    strategic options available to the organisation given the prevailing environment.

    Pass (50 to 64 marks):


     Sufficient issues are addressed in order to distinguish between the rote learning student
    and those students with the ability to generate a required level of independent thought
    processes but which is inadequate to achieve a distinction due to inconsistency or due to
    insufficient understanding.
     Use of structure and terminology that shows an ability to undertake disciplined analysis
    of the issues presented.
     Content and structure that indicates an ability to analyse, evaluate and make logical
    conclusions regarding the change issues that encompasses both practical examples and
    theoretical elements.
     Evidence that the theory behind the practical application of Change Management
    concepts is clearly understood but with certain aspects of the analysis being covered
    more extensively than others that indicates a less insightful critique of particular
    concepts.

     Use of more dated, limited or unrelated academic referencing showing literature review
    and research technique that is short of a distinction level.

    Merit (65 to 74 marks)


     Evidence of a full understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the
    methodologies and models employed
     Evidence of ability to make a sustained argument using appropriate evidence.
    Evidence of ability to critically evaluate evidence and synthesise generalisations.
     Evidence of an appropriate level of critical analysis and judgement including
    justification of the criteria.
     Appropriate reading with effective use of a range of relevant sources.
    Effective deployment of reading in supporting arguments.
     A good grasp of the requirements necessary to conduct an analysis of practical issues; an
    ability to critique concepts from the literature reviewed; and to make clear and practical
    conclusions to resolve the issues faced.

    Distinction (Above 75 marks):


     Structure and content that distinguishes it as being well rounded in both structure and
    content with practical and theoretical aspects of the paper being more balanced and with
    conclusions put forward based on sound theory that shows theoretical evidence.
     Strong evidence of having read extensively around the chosen topic with extensive
    referencing of the key theories and arguments proposed and which encompasses the
    creative application of academic knowledge in such a way that it may well lead to the
    extension of such academic knowledge.
     Consistency in the arguments used to evaluate and critically analyse the strategies and
    theories reviewed as well as in the utilisation of basic analytical tools.
