HRM 587 Managing Organizational Change Assignment: Determining the Change / MICROSOFT VS TESLA ARE 2 CHOSEN COMPANIES- DeVry University, Keller Graduate School of Management
For an overview of this part of the course project please watch the following video.
Select a diagnostic model (see Chapter 4) that you and your team can utilize to review aspects of change activities and actions that have been taken by the companies chosen. For this analysis, we are looking at the parts of the companies as well as their strategies, as surmised by your earlier research. It is acknowledged that this information will not be complete as you are looking at these companies as an outsider, but a thoroughly researched paper will give enough data to allow some well-defended assumptions on your part.
Here's what to do.
I. Select one diagnostic model (i.e., 6-box, 7S, congruence, or one of the others) to apply to the two chosen companies. Choose the model that you and your team feel best identifies and measures the relevant aspects of the organization's performance.
II. Apply the data obtained in your research through an analysis of the appropriate chosen model. This will allow you and your team to create a diagnosis of where each company is today (as per the criteria of the model).
III. Create a SWOT analysis for each of the two chosen companies change plans/programs, utilizing information obtained in the diagnosis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats).
IV. As a team, compare the two company analyses to each other and offer your perspective (value judgment) of the effectiveness of the changes made to date in each case.
V. Identify potential areas of resistance that may occur and at least one strategy to respond to each. (This will most likely come from your weaknesses/threats section of your SWOT. If not, take another look at your SWOT.)
VI. Make recommendations for further actions within the organizations and the rationale chosen for these recommendations.
VII. Write your team paper, including each of the above sections and analyses.
