We have learned that organizational change is a process rather than an event. It often starts with knowing what to change, continues through how to change, and then concludes with when to change. Using these steps as a foundation, present a three-to-five-page paper that addresses the following:

• Research organizations in KSA that, in the past three years, havecompleted a major change to their organization (e.g., merged with oracquired another firm, expanded operations, significantly reduced staff,etc.).
• Provide a brief summary of the organization and the reasons for the recent change.
• Present the steps or process the organization followed, from theinitiation of the change process to the implementation of the change.Which of the several frameworks from the textbook did they use or do youthink they used to analyze organizational dynamics?
• Discuss the stakeholders who were included in the process and indicate what their roles were.
• Finally, discuss the key processes/strategies which weresuccessful, the key processes/strategies which were not successful, andadvice or suggestions you would offer (based on what you have learnedthus far in this course) which may result in a more successful changeinitiative in the future. Which of the several frameworks from thetextbook would you suggest they use to analyze organizational dynamics?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be three-to-five pages in length, which does not include the titlepage and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimumrequirements.
• Use APA style guidelines.
• Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.

Part 3 – Organizing and Staffing

A. Organizing

The second function of management to address is organizing. There are many moving parts to your fundraising event, and organizing them will be key to ensuring no resource gets missed or wasted.

Using the known information and the concepts learned in class, create and present your organizational structure in the second section of the proposal you began last week. You can use a template in Excel® titled organizational chart to visually show your organizational chart. You can create a chart in Excel® and take a screen shot and put it into your document. Then, below your organization chart, make sure you include the answers to the following questions:

Explain who reports directly to you and why you selected them.

Describe what their responsibilities will be.

Explain who else they interact with, and how they will interact.

B. Staffing

Human resource planning is essential in any organization, even a volunteer one. While you will not be conducting formal interviews of your team members, you need to have at least a basic understanding of the job responsibilities so you can make decisions on where they will make the biggest impact. For this section of your proposal, you will present a breakdown of the following:

Summarize the groups/teams you envision needing for your event.

How many volunteers may be needed for each? Explain your reasoning.

Describe how you plan to communicate with your team(s), including explanations of:

how often you will communicate.

what form(s) of communication you will use.

Post a cohesive response in which you:

• Summarize the results of your emotional intelligence self-assessment. What surprised you about the results?
• Explain what you will use what you gained from the self-assessment. Provide examples to support your explanation.
• Summarize an example from your experience as a manager or from when you observed a manager practice, or fail to practice emotional intelligence
  • What happened during this interaction?
  • What were the outcomes?
  • What was the overall effect of the interaction? Was it successful? Were there ways in which it could be improved?
• Assess how important you think emotional intelligence is in the practice of effective management.

Primary Discussion Response is due by Friday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Tuesday (11:59:59pm Central).

Students will be expected to post their initial Discussion Board posting by Friday of each week. Discussion posts will be graded and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

The discussion assignment for this week includes a review of the Key Assignment outline completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least 1 other student.

Primary Task Response: Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment outline to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes that you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft that you will complete next week.

Respond to Another Student: Review at least 1 other student’s Key Assignment outline and provide meaningful feedback. Refrain from general feedback, such as simply stating “good job.” Your feedback to other students is most helpful if you not only point out weak areas but also offer suggestions for improvement. The best feedback takes a 3-stage approach to identify what was done well, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
