University, Australia. As the former vice chancellor resigns for his post and Professor Blocks
has been appointed newly, just at the end of the first month of joining professor proposed his
new vision and followed by that incident announced his proposal of change management. As
a result, two types of reaction can be noticed among the departments of Arts and Engineering.
Faculties of Arts are supportive while recommending strategies for change considering the
departmental needs whereas, faculties dealing with engineering and architecture shows
resistance regarding the model of change management being dissatisfied with the VC’s self-
decided policy. Therefore, this report has been identified the challenges and strength of both
the approaches and recommends solution. Finally, the role of VC has been evaluated in terms
of combating the challenges and few key strategies have been mentioned to overcome those
difficulties.

3ANALYSIS REPORT ON CHANGE MANAGEMENT MODEL
Introduction
The report aims to deliver an analysis of case study related to organisational change at
the Super Star University. The agenda is to analyse the implications of change management
models in the case of proposing new organisational structure by the vice chancellor
(Hornstein, 2015). As the former Vice-principle announced his retirement on 2015, in order
to fill the designation, Professor Max Blocks was appointed as new vice chancellor and
president of the university. Therefore, he has announced new set of visions including his
ambition of escalating the university in the list of top 100 educational institutes across the
world (Kuipers et al., 2014).
It provides an idea of probable challenges along with solutions against the adopted
positive approaches by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts. It has recommended to the Dean of
the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Sciences which resistance model
should be the best to adopt by the department as the department is in confusion how to
implement changes within such a short period. Further discussion has been conducted on the
strength, issues and rate of success against the adopted approach of changing the
management. The present vice-chancellor of the university has new approach to operate the
institute and new visions framed for the organisation (Lozano et al., 2013). Considering the
organisational change the challenges has been mentioned along with recommendations,
which have been included here to overcome the probable difficulties in upcoming five years.
