The First Change Analysis Paper:

Due Week 3: Change Analysis Paper: "Images."
The "Images" paper focuses on the six different images of managing change. These images of change represent the various ways managers view the most effective strategy to bring about change. Each one represents a mindset that is unique to a manager as they try to summarize the key components of change. 

This paper should focus on evidence that demonstrates how the management of the organization integrated one or more of the Six Images of managing change (Chapters 2 and 3) and what management could have done differently to increase the probability of successfully implementing the strategic change initiative.
