1 The thesis ‘A critical conceptualisation of leadership
and organisational change: a case study of the
Royal
Jordanian airlines‘ is in my view an interesting topic for a
PhD study (should the word ‘cultural’ be included
here between ‘organizational and ‘change’?). However, the
first sentence of the Abstract introduces the
purpose as “to investigate leadership style of the
top management executives including the Chief
Executive
Officer of Royal Jordanian airline to understand
the factors that influence organizational cultural
change
within the company”. Then on page 23 (Introduction)
the purpose is identified as “This study is about top
management including CEO leadership and its
linkage with organizational cultural change and
organizational performance.” On page 37
(Introduction) the research question has then been identified
as
“What is the role of organisational culture
change by the top leadership of the Royal
Jordanian airline in
order to improve organizational performance?”
These are not four ways of saying the same. Rather,
thedifferent statements presents unclarity and lack of focus. I
don’t automatically see the link between thesis
As per the given comment of tutor
Abstract has been modified as well as
its quality has been enhance. Because
it focusing more on the topic of thesis
i.e., a critical conceptualisation of
leadership and organizational change: the
case of royal Jordanian airline.

title and purpose as identified in the Abstract and in the
Introduction. Hence, in my opinion, Requirement #
1 above has not been met.
Along with this, concept of leadership
and organisational changes are also
discussed for better understanding of
topic. These changes are marked on page
no. 13.
