Assignment 2 is an individual essay that requires students to discuss, evaluate and critically analyse the impact change has on people within an organisation. Students are required to demonstrate their understanding of the impact of change within an organisation, and consider how people react in different ways to change, and how their reactions can impact on the process of change and the organisation itself. Following this analysis, students are then required to debate the role of Change Agents within an organisation. As part of this analysis, students will want to discuss what a Change Agent is, their purpose and the role they undertake, and how they are perceived within an organisation – rticularly if the change process is particularly challenging. Finally, students are expected to make a case for introducing Change Agents within an organisation with which they are familiar. Students are required to explain their reasons for introducing them within an organisation, and discuss what they are seeking to achieve by doing so. This essay requires students to underpin discussions and essay content with academic theory. At post-graduate level there is an expectation that the essay will have a clear structure, evidence of understanding, relevance and application, and originality.
