• Assignment 1: Students are required to select, analyse and submit a brief written description of a news item for a specific company relevant to the topic for a particular week in this unit and analysis of the likely transformative impact of this news item. To encourage students to examine topics across the whole unit, the number of students able to select a particular topic will be limited to the number of students in the class divided by the number of topics. Students will be encouraged to focus their projects on an industry and a company of interest to their future careers.
• Assignment 2: Students are required to evaluate business strategic intent, business models and transformative change in a selected company. A limited number of companies are prohibited from student selection: companies previously approved for student selection in current and recent units; companies of the week in classes; and companies presented in classes as exemplars of transformation practices. Therefore, company selections must be submitted to the coordinator and approved before undertaking each assignment.
• Assignment 3 (report): In groups, students are required to select, analyse and describe a company that has been the subject of a news item in the last six months as experiencing organisational difficulties for which there may be a transformative solution. Determine and describe a solution in sufficient detail to show how it may adequately address the organisation’s challenges. Selecting and applying current change management frameworks, analyse the organisation and determine a transformative change management plan appropriate to the solution and the project’s requirements. The plan should include at least two different options for implementation of the solution.
• Assignment 3 (presentation): All students in each team to design, develop and present the critical details from assignment 3 (report).
