Module 8 Assignment 1
M8A1 Final Examination
Once you have completed all assigned readings and
discussions, you should be ready to take the final examination, which is an
open-reference examination consisting of three short-answer essays based on
Chapters 1–12 of your assigned textbook.
The essays are as follows:
1. Describe the
creative and rational process of change along with how change impacts an
organization and the employees within it.
2. Provide an
overview of the internal and external pressures that force change in an
organization and how the role of management affects this process.
3. Resistance to
change can paralyze an organization. Examine the reasons organizations resist
change, and present one strategy an organization should consider to reduce the
organization’s resistance to change.
