Using the Internet, AUO library and other sources research a recent case
study (less then 5 years old) about a company which experienced major
organizational changes. Now consider that you are an organizational
behavior consultant assigned to help the company navigate and manage
the change. Write a report to your supervisor analyzing the reasons for
the change and discussing the following points in your report:
What was the internal or external pressure that caused the change?
Compare the driving force for the change to the specific types of
pressures noted in your reading assignments.
What organizational changes resulted from the pressure for
change?
Consider that there were probably forces within the company that
resisted the change. What might have been their rationale against the
change? Do you feel these are valid points? Why or why not?
Do you think that other organizations in the same industry would
have reacted in the same way? Why or why not?
