For this assignment, build an illustrative, fictional case study (see required reading for characteristics of illustrative and fictional case studies). Data collection for the assignment involves the following steps:

1. Identify an organization, which becomes the foundation for the fictional case. Use an actual company for this assignment, but change the name of the company and any other information specific to the company so that you can develop an illustrative, fictional case study.

2. List the "new" name and a brief description of the organization and why it was chosen.

3. Conduct secondary research on the company, its mission, location, other public information

4. Identify a person from the company whom you would interview and develop a set of interview questions that are relevant to the organization. The questions should uncover one or more potential areas of organizational development interest or issues that the company faces. List the name (under a new name) and role of person to be interviewed.

5. Conduct primary research by interviewing the identified employees of the organization. Your case study should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this case.

6. Your fictional case study should include:

• The case's organization and industry context

• The organization's vision/mission, strategy, product/service, business model, and organizational structure

• Scenario setting including the main character/s

• Problem statements or questions (not more than five).
