Length and/or format: 1500 words

Purpose:

For students to critically evaluate foundation frameworks, philosophies and theories for change management in organisations

In this assignment, you will be required to analyse and critique two change models from those discussed in Weeks 02 and 03: You will be allocated a model to analyse from Week 02 and Week 0

These models are:

Week 02: Factors Affecting Change: Planned and Emergent Approaches

  • Dunphy and Stace contingency model

Week 03: Factors Affecting Change: Adaptive approaches- Organisational Transformation

  • Bolman and Deal 4 frames model

Need to compare Dunphy and Stace contingency model to Bolman and Deal 4 frames model

Approaching this task

There are two parts to this task. 1. Analysis of the models and 2. Development of a report on your findings.

For the analysis, you need to unpack each model and

  • Compare and contrast the similarities and differences of both models
  • Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of each model
  • Draw a conclusion about the usefulness of the models in addressing a change problem

Report Structure

Your report should cover the following elements:

  • Overview (100 words)
  • Similarities and differences (650 words)
  • Strengths and Weaknesses (650 words)
  • Conclusion (100 words)
  • Reference List

Learning outcomes assessed:

1. Critically evaluate foundation frameworks, philosophies andtheories for change management in organisations. (GA4)

4. Apply effective written and oral communication skills to change management processes. (GA5, GA9)

ILO1: Understanding of change two models (5 marks)

Presents information that is incorrect or from poor or irrelevant sources Summary of change models shows inaccurate understanding of the key elements and is inappropriate.

Evidence of some research having been undertaken beyond the unit materials with some relevant sources selected.

Identifies some key points relating to the two change models and partly explains these but shows a shallow understanding of the key elements

Evidence of some research having been undertaken beyond the unit materials with some relevant sources selected

Identifies the majority of key points relating to the two change models and explains these but shows a shallow understanding of the key elements

Evidence of substantial research having been undertaken beyond the unit materials with relevant sources selected

Identifies the key points relating to the two change models and explains these in detail demonstrating a sound understanding of the key elements

Evidence of substantial research having been undertaken

Identifies the key points relating to the two change models and concisely and coherently explains these in detail demonstrating an in- depth understanding of the key elements

ILO1: Analysis of two change models (10 marks)

Weak or no discussion of similarities and differences

Few insights are drawn and are not supported by details, examples, evidence

Identifies some major similarities and differences in the two models.

Some valid points are described, but not all are supported by links to relevant details, examples and evidence from research

Identifies most major similarities and differences in the two models.

A number of valid points are described, but not all are supported by links to relevant details, examples and evidence from research

Identifies a comprehensive range of similarities and differences in the two models.

Valid points are clearly explained and supported by explicit links to relevant details, examples and

evidence from research

Analysis is very thorough and clearly indicates the similarities and differences between the two models Major points are stated clearly and are supported by specific details, examples, evidence

ILO1: Conclusion about two change models (10 marks)

No attempt to evaluate either or both change models

Little insight shown or is inadequate

No conclusions drawn

Presents a basic critique of the strengths and weaknesses of the two change models Conclusions drawn are mostly logical but some links to evidence from the analysis and critique are not strong, and some evidence is not relevant
