Purpose:
This assignment provides the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to integrate the module concepts and skills. The purpose of this assignment is to analyse an
organisation’s problem or challenge using frameworks and concepts from the Managing People and Organisations module materials.
This assignment will allow you to draw on all the units covered in the module and will help you develop skills in applying the module content in an organisational
analysis.
Task:
Identify an appropriate organisation for your analysis. This may be the organisation you currently work in or have worked in in the past, or an organisation you are
otherwise familiar with, either through personal experience or through the popular press. If you choose a large organisation, you may decide to focus your analysis on
an identifiable work unit (e.g., branch, division, large department) within the organisation.
Your task is to identify and briefly describe a current organisational problem or challenge faced by the organisation. (e.g. high turnover, low employee engagement,
the need to implement a change within the organisation, etc).
You are expected to critically analyse the problem or challenge you have identified drawing on relevant frameworks and concepts from Managing People and Organisations.
Then, based on your analysis, make specific recommendations on how to resolve the problem or challenge and how to improve the organisation’s effectiveness in dealing
with the issue.
The assessment should be presented in essay style in that it has a coherent argument or set of points that you develop throughout the essay. Avoid long and detailed
descriptions of the problem or challenge you have identified, a short description with the necessary details is sufficient so that you can spend most of your time on
your analysis and the recommendations.
