The Change Analysis - Images of Change (Due Week 2)

The “Images” section focuses on the six different images of managin" rel="nofollow">ing change and how each “approach” to change effects all that follows in" rel="nofollow">in its implementation and contin" rel="nofollow">inued support. Download the “Week 2 Project Images Grid” from doc-sharin" rel="nofollow">ing. Pick three of the “images of change” explain" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in the Week 2 lecture from the grid, and analyze how those particular “images” would affect the ensuin" rel="nofollow">ing diagnosis and implementation in" rel="nofollow">in your two selected companies on their change plans. Here’s what to do: Workin" rel="nofollow">ing with the in" rel="nofollow">information that you provided in" rel="nofollow">in your topic proposal, and any feedback you have received from your Professor, flesh out the facts and in" rel="nofollow">information from your origin" rel="nofollow">inal proposal. Review the changes in" rel="nofollow">in each company and describe them thoroughly in" rel="nofollow">in a word document. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how the change impacted the companies, and who it impacted. Compare some of the similarities and differences between the change in" rel="nofollow">in the two companies. Look at your grid and pick three images of change from your grid. Fill out the empty blocks on the grid for those three images usin" rel="nofollow">ing outlin" rel="nofollow">ines, bullet poin" rel="nofollow">ints, and rough ideas for both company’s change. Now, in" rel="nofollow">in a Word document, analyze, compare and contrast the three images and explain" rel="nofollow">in how the behaviors of those images would be different or the same durin" rel="nofollow">ing your companies’ changes, and how those differences could (or did) impact the success (or failure) of the change, comparin" rel="nofollow">ing and contrastin" rel="nofollow">ing the results at both companies. Explain" rel="nofollow">in which image (or combin" rel="nofollow">ination of images) you feel would have best facilitated the described change and why. Based on the in" rel="nofollow">information you actually read about the results of this change, state which image you thin" rel="nofollow">ink the leader of the change actually resembled the most. You may speculate here on which image you feel best represents the “change agent” at either or both of the companies. This will depend on how much in" rel="nofollow">information you found about the in" rel="nofollow">internal workin" rel="nofollow">ings of the company durin" rel="nofollow">ing the change. This paper should focus on evidence that demonstrates how the management of the organization in" rel="nofollow">integrated one or more of the six images of managin" rel="nofollow">ing change (Chapters 2 and 3) how effective the change was and what management could have done differently to in" rel="nofollow">increase the probability of successfully implementin" rel="nofollow">ing the strategic change in" rel="nofollow">initiative. Again" rel="nofollow">in, this is a compare and contrast paper – so in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">information about both companies in" rel="nofollow">in your report.
