Description
In Chapters 3 of your text on table 3.2 there are listed nine models and approaches to organizational change. Consider that you are a large organization and you are preparing to move your business from New Jersey to Arizona in 12 months. Your business has 2500 employees. Some will lose their job, some will retire and some will move with the company. You have 12 months to prepare for this organizational change.
Your job is to recommend to management the model (one model please) that they should use over the coming year to best manage this change. So, I ask that you prepare a 14-16 page presentation (Powerpoint) comparing and contrasting the nine models with the end goal to select one that best fits this organizational situation. In addition, include a title page, an introductory page (an agenda), a concluding page and a reference page. Each of the 14-16 pages should include notes with at least 150 – 200 words each on the notes section within Powerpoint (VIEW / NOTES). The notes reflect comments that you will use for yourself when you present this presentation to management. They are your talking points. The Powerpoint slides that management will see while you are talking will be a summary, typically in bullet format.
The first half of your presentation will include the discussion of the nine models, and in the second half of your presentation, select the change model that you think is most appropriate for this process of getting your employees on board with the upcoming move. Discuss the phases of the model you select and explain why it is most appropriate. Use several slides to explain the steps this company should take using the recommended model and why they are important for success. Move through the 12 month process. This should be a timeline of events they need to perform over the 12 months.
Use the many options for color and innovative layouts available in Powerpoint to make your presentation professional. Review the rubric. Make your presentation interesting and attractive to the audience. If you use photos or diagrams, make sure they are open source while still citing your source.
Use APA format for this assignment. Review the supporting materials within this assignment for tips on creating a good presentation. See APA reference guides in the content section of the classroom under course materials. Find at least two other references other than your book and use the article in your presentation. A website is not a scholarly source. Please use a journal or article from the library. Your reference should have an author! Avoid quotes. Use your own words while still citing your sources
.question 2
For this assignment you must research a company that has moved its location from the U.S. to a foreign country or from a foreign county to the U.S. You may also use a company that has recently expanded operations so that they have a plant in the U.S. and in a foreign company. However, this must be a real scenario. Once you find your company, answer the following questions throughout your paper. As an example, let’s say that Ford Motor company was operating 100% in the U.S. and was shipping cars across the country, but then they decided to open a manufacturing plant in China to save on shipping costs.
1 – Describe your company and explain what service they provide or what they sell. Did the entire company move all operations, or did only part of the company move?
2 – Why would this company have made the decision for this drastic move? What was behind this decision and what was the goal? Use terms and concepts about the strategies we studied.
3 – Explain what difficulties were involved. What was the greatest challenge regarding the move? Was it the employees, the expense, the culture, the leadership, etc?
4 – Using Goleman’s six leadership styles as described in table 4.5 of our text, explain when each of the six styles may be needed from the time this move to another country is announced, to the time operations are running smoothly after the move. Give examples of what style would be used in which situations. (Make sure you use the six styles we studied in our text and do not use other terms from the internet).
5 – Was the move a success in the long run?
Use terms and concepts that we have studied in the past six weeks. Do not just recount the steps of the move. Discuss leadership styles and when and how they will change during the timeline. Which approaches to change are most appropriate?
The paper should be in APA format and approximately 4-5 (not including title and reference pages) pages in the main body of the paper. Papers without at least 1400 words of text (not including title and reference page) will have deductions. Don’t add extra spaces between paragraphs to make your paper appear longer. Typically each page should be approximately 350 words.
Make sure you clearly show the answers to the above questions. If you use quotes in your paper (should be very few) you should have more than 1400 words to compensate for the quotes. Your paper should have at least two additional resources beyond the course text. Your references must have an author associated with them. Do not use information from the internet unless there is an author. Use scholarly articles.
