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 the organisation that you have selected, answer the following questions.
Question 1
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.
Each individual student is responsible for his/her own academic work, research and final
outcome.

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.
 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
