Assessment - Short Response Discussion Topics

This task requires you to submit TWO responses, as blogs, to each key topic. Blogs should be approximately 150 to 200 words each. This assessment is approximately 800 words in total. 

Task - Topic Discussion

Topic 1 - Blog 1: What is organisational change?  Blog 2: Discuss why it is necessary for contemporary organisations to appreciate the scale and scope of the change they are facing.

Topic 2 - Blog 3: Discuss some reasons why some change programs in organisations fail, or under-achieve, on the intended goals and then illustrate with a case example. Blog 4: Discuss further reasons (different from Blog 3) why some change programs in organisations fail, or under-achieve, on the intended goals, and then illustrate with a (different) case example.

Please note: The case examples need to focus upon change programs which were implemented but that failed, or under-achieved, NOT upon organisations that fail because they did not implement a change program (although organisational failure may be the outcome of a failed change program!)
