Assessment
Coursework 1– Group Report – Diagnosis of Case Study Organisation
Purpose of this Assessment
Your team has been commissioned by the CEO to do a group diagnosis and identify key issues impacting the Case Study organisation. Main recommendations in design for change and analysis of implications for the case organisation are required.
The analysis, which is required to be presented, must highlight the key issues impacting on the Case Study organisation with an analysis of their implications for the company and its place in society. The report should conclude with a brief indication of recommended action.
The formal academic/management nature of this report requires a formal, mature and analytical writing style. Appropriate linkage between sections should be evidenced. The diagnosis report must be structured as follows:
Preliminaries*
A Title Page
- Detailing the title of the report, the name of the author and programme of study, word count and the submission date.
Executive Summary
- Key elements of the report, including report aim, case content and key issues, implications and indication of the way forward comprehensively and well summarised on a single page.
Main Report
Introduction
- The aim, outline of case context and structure of the report are succinctly set out.
Case Diagnosis & Analysis
- Clear and succinct critical review of the case organisation
of Combined Implications
Reflecting acute perception of key issues and effective analysis of the potential current and future implications, incorporating scrutiny of the wider global environment, with attention to CSR, Business Ethics and appropriate citation of sources. The discussion should be well-scoped, logically structured, evidence-based, appropriately detailed and demonstrate wider reading. Where relevant, arguments made should be linked to the appropriate theory. (Whilst it is valuable to use a range of diagnostic tools to assist with the analysis of the status quo, this section should focus on the results and analysis of implications. The tools used with relevant detail should be presented in the Appendices)
Conclusion
This section draws the report together by presenting a brief clear succinct summary of the key issues and an indication of required action (e.g., Change, the type of change and focus of change).
Coursework 2 – Individual Design for Change for Case Study Company
Following diagnosis and review of the Group Diagnosis Report, an Individual written report is required. Analysis and development of a practicable, creative and strategic design for organisational change at the Case Study organisation (see separate Case Study file on GCU Learn) with sensitivity to Business Ethics and CSR is required.
Your design for change should take into account and exploit new ideas and pertinent thinking captured in the relevant bodies of change related theory, and draw on good innovative practices in other countries across the globe.
As with the earlier report, its formal academic/management nature requires a formal, mature and analytical writing style. The individual sections should evidence clear linkages, building upon ideas and arguments previously presented in earlier sections. The design for change report must be structured as follows:

Main Report
Introduction
- The aim, scope and structure of the report are succinctly set out, with a brief theoretically supported elaboration of the topic (Change).
Case Overview
- Succinct overview of case context.
Diagnosis and Analysis
- Clear and succinct identification of the key issues impacting on Case Study organisation (strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats) and insightful assessment of the combined current and future implications for the organisation, reflecting sensitivity to CSR and Business Ethics. The discussion should be well supported by appropriate sources, effectively scoped, logically structured, appropriately detailed and show evidence of wider reading. Where relevant, arguments made should be linked to the appropriate theory. (Whilst it is valuable to use a range of diagnostic tools to assist with the analysis of the status quo, this section should focus on the results and analysis of implications).
Design for Change
- This is the main section and key focus of the report. It should present a compelling strategic design for change, supported by a theoretically robust case for the proposed change. The design for change should link clearly to previous discussions analysing the status quo, draw on theory covered in the lecture programme and be subjected to a critical review of appropriateness for addressing the key challenges faced by the Case Study organisation, with anticipated benefits highlighted. Overall, the design for change should meet the stipulated criteria of being creative and practicable and also reflect a detailed understanding of, and sensitivity to, the organisational and environmental context, and client requirements, including CSR and Business Ethics. It should be presented and argued, and strongly supported by reference to appropriate theoretical sources.
Analysis of Design
- This section should provide a theory-supported discussion and
For Change
- analysis of anticipated problems and recommendations for Interventions and supporting initiatives.
Conclusion
- This section draws the report together by presenting a brief clear succinct summary of the key issues
