You are expected to do your own literature search beyond the level of detail/ content that is presented in lectures.A (Analysis and Application)Detailed exploration of your chosen organisational change Make use of theories and literature to demonstrate insight and to expose key issues. Illustrate your answer with a good range of relevant illustrative examples from the organisational change to build your analysis.C (Criticality) Demonstrate critical thinking. This means making clear arguments that emphasise the relevance and importance of particular insights. For example:Maintain a focus on answering the question throughout and develop a line, or lines, ofreasoning or argumentIntroduce your main argument at the beginning of your essay and then develop the details of how you reached this. Your introduction should also tell us how you are answering the question and structuring your essay.Make points that are evidenced with details from examples from your experience anddiscuss relevant aspects of your chosen theories/ approaches Question the applicability and usefulness of the theories and literature: did it help youto analyse the organisational change?Compare and contrast the relevance of your chosen theories/ models. Are they usefulin gaining insight into the organisational change?Comment on the limits and relevance of different theories and models to help you answer the question 1
Later in this document you will find the mark sheet that contains further details of assessmentcriteria, which will be used to mark your coursework and exam.GuidanceMake sure you understand the question and ensure you:Do a critical review not a descriptive review of a specific organisational change (for example, do not simply state what happened, but build on this by explaining why it is important). Description should be kept to a minimum the emphasis is on discussion, analysis and argument.Discuss with relevant theories/ approaches the lessons that can be learnt about the successful management of within organisational changeChoosing the Organisational Change2. The specific organisational change can be sourced from personal experiences of organisational change, OR examples of change management you are familiar with, OR your own choice of case study. You can discuss either a successful or an unsuccessful organisational change and evaluate lessons about what (could have) made it successful NOTE: You CANNOT use the MYBANK Case(from the core text or any other source); 3. Do not use any case study or organisation used in any other level 3 module (e.g. Strategic Management or another module). This will help you to ensure you are analysing an organisational change and management of change and NOT a business change case or a review of strategic change etc. If you have any doubt, check your choice of case with your seminar tutor. 4. If you decide to use a published case study rather than your own experience you need to ensure the analysis is your own work and not a repetition from other sources. We use Safe Assign so assessment offences (e.g. plagiarism) will be detected. 5. You also have the option to generate your own case study from an organisation you have access to (for example through meetings/interviews or a family member etc.). This gives you the option to build your own case based on others’ experiences. Be careful to ensure you can obtain sufficient details.Remember:1.
