WEEK
1: STORIES OF CHANGE
No unread replies.3232 replies.
Chapter 1 of your textbook includes, onpage 9,
Table 1.1, “Managing Change: Some Lessons from the Four Stories.” Review
the four “lessons” (bullet points) on the table, and think about what some of
the key “learning points” you gleaned about change from these stories. Then, do
one of two things:
1. Post
the top three learning points you gleaned from the stories, and include how the
stories for change helped you learn these points, or
2.
Research one of the four companies and see how or if that company has since
changed (yet more) since the time of the book’s publication. How did that
recent change fit with or not fit in with the “lessons” that the textbook
mentions the company “learned” from their original set of changes? Explain what
you find (bring the URL of the research/article you used to help you).
Your instructor will follow up with you with additional
questions throughout the week to push the learning further. Feel free to
discuss your classmates’ findings and thoughts on these questions with each
other as well.

WEEK
1: PRESSURES FOR CHANGE
1919 unread replies.3737 replies.
Organizations change due to many different pressures. In your lecture for Week
1, as well as your reading in Chapter 3, you are introduced to many of these
pressures. Think about a time at work, at school, or at home, when you have
been subjected to similar pressures (this is “your” example). Did that
pressure make you change or “dig in your heels” and refuse to change? What does
that say about pressures for change? Does it always lead to change?
Provide your example in your first post, and if you can, explain how the
theories on “pressures for change” help explain why you were or weren’t
actually pressured to change in your example. Please also discuss your
classmates’ examples with them. In follow-up posts, talk about how these
pressures did or didn’t cause a company to change, to their benefit or detriment.
Your instructor will come in with additional questions and thoughts based on
your comments and the pressures for change, and during the week, your main
focus will be on “why companies change.” Enjoy the discussions!
