This individual assignment requires you to integrate your learning from across the module and to focus on the relationship between Bolman and Deal’s 4 frames and the processes of change management. In the assignment, it is expected that you will demonstrate your capacity for researching the topic and engaging in critical analysis by considering evidence from different perspectives, even where they challenge/ contradict each other!! Using a range of academic sources beyond the core module material will certainly help you with this assignment.
