Individual Case Study 2 -
Use the WMC case information from Case Study 1.
Task Required:
Based on your analysis of WMC in Case Study 1, you are now required to continue your external change advice to WMC. Case Study 2 requires you to identify theories that will assist with change intervention ideas to solve the company's range of change issues.
Use the same list of issues and assumptions from Case Study 1. However, if needed, add additional relationship and behavioural assumptions based on less than perfect information as follows:
1. Based on Hayes (2014) Chapter 9 and Battilana, Gilmartin, Sengul, Pache& Alexander (2010) journal article, identify appropriate leadership approaches and competencies when implementing planned organisational change at WMC. (700 words)
2. Based on your analysis of WMC, what types of interventions will assist and improve organisational effectiveness? Discuss in relation to Hayes (2014) Chapter 16. (650 words)
3. Using Hayes (2014) Chapter 27 and Branmark& Benn (2012) Reading 8, discuss how WMC can sustain change? How will strategies be identified and problems addressed. (650 words).
