The written report should address the following:
1. Introduction
2. Description of your case study organisation and its context and environment - briefly describe the case study organisation, and the contextual and environmental factors that have caused/contributed to change in that organisation
3. Analysis of Change - analyse the change that the organisation has implemented (or is implementing), the approach it has adopted in implementing and managing change and the theory that you think underpins its approach.
4. Gap(s) in Change Implementation Approach - based on your analyses in sections 2 and 3 (above), analyse gap(s) that may exist between what the organisational, contextual and situational factors require and the approach and its underpinning theory that the organisation has adopted. If your analysis does not show a gap, you still need to present arguments to support your case, with reference to relevant literature.
5. Recommendation for Organisation - based on the findings of section 4 (above) and what you have learned in MGNT915, recommend practical steps that you believe the organisation should take/have taken to enact effective/successful and sustainable change. The section should also discuss the approach and its underpinning theory that can support the recommendations.
