Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Define and apply change management theories, models and practices to a practical business environment

2 Identify organisational change and development trends at national and or global levels and interpret implications of these for the specific organisation

3 Analyse how individuals and organisations react to change

4 Apply change interventions to facilitate individual, group and organisational change and development programs and the limitations of each

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities In this unit there usually is a diverse mix of students from different masters programs, industries, organisational and cultural backgrounds which reflects the diversity of many workplaces.  Formal and informal discussions and forums are used as learning strategies. This means that students (for the formal discussions) should have studied the reading material where indicated.  Assignments require active student involvement in thinking through, discussing and writing about related issues. You are expected to optimally use the learning opportunities provided for personal and professional growth.  Critical elements to your success in this unit include the ability to work both independently, to source and share information, and to apply knowledge and experience gained. Students' work and life experiences are rich sources of information and the unit is designed to capitalise on this valuable asset. To optimise the learning opportunity presented in this unit, students are encouraged and expected to share and discuss their own experiences, interesting media articles, and cases or reports on related issues.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Detailed information on assessment tasks

1.Assignment 1: Team presentation (20%) The team presentation is in the format of a two week discussion conducted in your Blackboard unit.

Statement: A diverse range of factors (eg. The attitude and behaviour of managers and employees, organisational and national culture, economic aspects, technological changes, and many others) both internal and external to an organisation play a major role (negative and/or positive) in the whole process of change (planning, implementation and therefore outcomes of implemented change).

Discuss this statement and support your discussion with: - academic references (minimum of 5 relevant references) -  workplace examples When referring to workplace examples, retain the confidentiality of people and organisations and therefore do not state people and/or organisations by name.

Contributions are made in the 'Discussion board' in BlackBoard.

Protocol for contributions Sharing ideas is a valuable way of furthering your learning experience by tapping into the thoughts of others.

A significant amount of learning takes place with peer interaction; therefore, online discussions and reviews are an important part of your learning. Although you are not able to see one another, as in  a traditional classroom situation, the same format and rules apply – an exchange of ideas where there is no “right” answer, while adhering to classroom courtesy.

The following guidelines will underpin your contributions:- • demonstrate your knowledge of the topic in relation to relevant organisational change and development theories/concepts • effectively convey your thoughts, opinions and ideas • provide evidence of relevant further readings, especially from academic journals • incorporate your own work and personal experience, and • adhere to the minimum contribution guidelines presented below

Minimum/Maximum Contribution Guidelines: Plan your time to ensure you contribute to the discussion as close as possible to the commencement date. Don’t make it a last minute attempt. Prior to the discussion opening, • read the relevant chapter in your text book • research the topic through further reading of relevant academic journal articles • look for examples of its practical application.

Initial Discussion Comments - must be submitted in the first week of the discussion For each discussion room topic, you are required to make one original contribution. This contribution must be made by the end of the first week of the discussion period or you will forfeit half of the mark for that particular discussion room topic. Your contribution doesn't have to be an

essay, nor should it be a one line answer. Look at the questions that are being asked, make an informed judgment about what would constitute a reasonable answer, and then make your entry. You may want to type this up first in a word document and then cut and paste it in the discussion room. Quality is important and is one of the criteria that is being used to assess your contribution. Long rambling entries are discouraged. BE SUCCINCT. Your initial comments are a short, sharp synopsis (aim for around 250 words; max 300 words) of your research and your views/thoughts on that research as they relate to the topic. Your comments can be: • Provocative (always good to stir the pot!), • Questioning (if the organisational behaviour theory/ concept says this, why is my organisation doing something that appears to be different but it works for them?) or maybe just... • Sharing something you have discovered in your reading related to the topic.

Responses - are to be submitted in the second week of the discussion. For each discussion room topic, you are also required to comment on an original contribution of at least two other students. This should be completed in the second week of the discussion once everyone has entered their original contributions. Again, be succinct when commenting on the contributions of others. Quality is the focus of our entries, not quantity. Aim for up to 150 words for each of your comments. The second week is less structured; you are responding to other students' comments. Do you agree with them or not - provide some justification for your responses - this would be based on your initial research and any other relevant material and experiences. • Respond to the comments of at least two other students (absolute minimum requirement). Quality is measured by how well you are able to integrate course materials and your own personal experience into the discussion board conversations, integrate more useful sources etc.

Marking criteria. The following criteria are used to evaluate contributions at the end of the 2 weeks. • 85 to 100% - outstanding original contribution with both original and insightful thought as well as good integration of reference material and critical evaluation. Responses offer considered insight and analysis and are succinct.Comments are original and supported by solidly triangulated references. • 75 - 80% - a very good score - the original contribution is of a high quality including having researched the topic and providing references and the responses to at least two others were insightful and offered food for thought and are succinct. • 60 to 70% an average score - the original contribution met the requirements of the brief, there is some reference to other material, responses offer some insight to further expand or enhance learning. Contribution could be more succinct. • 50 – 55% below average score – reference to unit material or other references is poor, original contribution and responses to others offer some insight, albeit small, to expand or enhance learning. Does not necessarily write succinctly. • 10 to 45% inadequate – mostly opinion provided without any significant linkage to unit material or outside reference material. Contributions are superficial and add very little to expand learning. Writing is not succinct.  

2. 2.  Assignment 2: Case analysis (40%) Word Limit: 2500 words, excluding reference list Access the case (TBA) link will be provided in Blackboard as per the time noted in the Program Planner.

Read the case and answer the following questions:

1. Analyse the case and prioritize the key issues.

2. Based on the analysis, make recommendations regarding how the change process should been done.

Expectations: 1. Analyse what you feel are the key issues occurring from a change management perspective and

prioritize them. Support your analysis (and prioritization) with reference to valid, relevant literature. Also:

a. discuss the things that are within Collins and Parke’s scope of influence in order to affect change. b. what challenges would you envision in the immediate and long(er) term future? c. what pressures do these challenges place on the leadership team at the two hospitals?

d. Discuss the concept of ‘readiness work’ and skills that will be needed to make the change.

2. Recommendations: Recommendations need to provide detail e.g., a. How will it be done? b. What key actions should be taken by the change leaders to lead this deep and wide change

process? c. How should Parkes and Collins proceed? d. What major components of organisational change need to be addressed as part of hour

recommendations? e. How will the outcomes be monitored and evaluated? f. What is the timeline for the implementation?

  Include areas such as management, HR, Leadership, Processes etc. **It is crucial that the recommendations are based on the analysis. Support your statements with relevant references.

3. An overall mark is allocated for the whole assignment to allow students to use different approaches to suit their personal writing style. For example:

Do the whole analysis and then describe the recommendations thereafter but based on the analysis.

OR

Integrate the recommendations with the analysis. However, it should be clear what information relates to the analysis and what information relates to the recommendations.

References: l A minimum of 10 academic references are needed which you have actually used in the assignment. l The Chicago referencing style must be used. l The assignment needs to include the following technical criteria: l Table of content that reflects content with page numbers included l Introduction that provides an overview of the assignment l Conclusion/summary at the end of the assignment l An effective academic writing style l Arguments and statements that are presented in a logical and systematic manner l Headings and subheadings to provide structure to the content l References which effectively support the content l A diverse and up-to-date reference list

**This is an academic document and the technical presentation is expected to be at Masters degree level. A maximum of

5 marks will be deducted if the technical criteria are not met.

Please note that for the assignment you do not need an abstract or executive summary

Your assignment must be submitted through Turnitin in BlackBoard.

The marking guide (rubric) for this assignment will be available in your Blackboard unit.

3. 3.  Assignment 3: Change model (40%) Word Limit: 2500 words, excluding reference list

Use the different OCD, leadership, global and cross-cultural theories/models/frameworks and/or principles as a basis and design a general model suitable for implementation of any planned change in a particular organization. The model must include 4 distinct areas:

l OCD principles, models/theories and processes. l Business principles, models/theories and processes (eg. if a company is in a new area, risk

management might be appropriate to consider). l A global leadership approach and focus on specific leadership theory. l Cross-cultural aspects applicable in a global business context

The model must be suitable for an organization with a minimum of 100 employees that operate in a

global context in any industry. For your organization, provide a brief overview of the organisation to create a context for the model (about half a page) and include the following:

l The mission statement and values. l A brief overview of its operations. l A brief description of the employee structure.

For the designed model, provide:

l The structure (figure/diagram): The structure (figure/diagram) which visually illustrates themodel. Think about interesting, innovative, clearly understandable and exciting ways to design thestructure. Different colours might be useful. When designing the structure it is crucial that you use only MSWord compatible software or I might not be able to open and evaluate your assignment. Any figure compiled within MSWord (or Powerpoint and then copied into Word) will usually open and work. Do not ‘Animate’ the Powerpoint as it does not open.

l A description of the process (How is it implemented; How does it work?): It is crucial that the process description is consistent with the structure. Therefore, all the aspects included in the structure, must be explained in the process. This means that the figure (structure) must match the actual process description.

Example of a general model (with a structure and process description) For an example of a general model (with a structure and process description) check: Naude, M. 2004. Interrelationship between leadership and managing   change. In Organisation Development and Change, Waddell, D. et al, Pacific Rim. 2nd ed. 534-567. Melbourne: Thomson. This is a chapter in a book AND IS AVAILABLE IN BLACKBOARD IN YOUR READING MATERIAL. An overall mark is allocated for the whole assignment. References:

l  A minimum of 10 academic references are needed which you have actually used in the assignment. l The Chicago referencing style must be used. l The assignment needs to include the following technical criteria: l Table of content that reflects content with page numbers included l Introduction that provides an overview of the assignment l Conclusion/summary at the end of the assignment l An effective academic writing style l Arguments and statements that are presented in a logical and systematic manner l Headings and subheadings to provide structure to the content l References which effectively support the content l A diverse and up-to-date reference list

Pass requirements

It is essential that you hand in all the assignments for this unit.  If you do not hand in all the assignments for this unit, you will automatically be awarded a fail mark for this unit, irrespective of the marks that you have obtained for the other assignments that you have handed in.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

All due dates are noted on the Program Planner on the back page of the Unit Outline. Acceptance of late assignments will only be allowed if the request adheres to the University's late Assessment Policy. (eg. death of a family member) and the request must be made prior to the due date. 'Unexpected circumstances' or 'overcommitment' at work or school are not acceptable grounds for granting extensions. The instructor WILL ask to see all work completed to date on an assessment if an extension request is made.

Deferred assessments

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check your OASIS email for details.

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Referencing style

The referencing style for this unit is Chicago.

Submission of all Written Assignments through Turnitin  

The majority of your written assessments will be submitted through Turnitin via Blackboard. Submission upload links are located in the ‘Assessment’ section on Blackboard within their respective assessment ‘folder’ (in most units). You will also be given the option to upload a draft copy of each assessment to Turnitin prior to your final submission. If you choose to upload a draft (referred to in Turnitin as a “Revision”), Turnitin will generate an Originality Report to help you pinpoint any referencing issues. Make good use of this feedback to improve your writing before uploading your final submission.

If you require further information about how to reference correctly, please visit the Library website ( http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/content.php?pid=141214), book in to a Library workshop, or access the online Referencing module in the SUCCESS for CGSB Students Blackboard site (this link to the SUCCESS site appears alongside the other Blackboard sites you have access to).

Assessment Guidelines

Marks for each assignment are posted into the Blackboard Grade Centre which is the University’s official repository for all grades. Whilst Grade Centre access is restricted to Curtin staff only (UC, Lecturers and LMS support personnel), students can view their grades via My Grades. The My Grades option is accessible off the main menu in all CGSB Blackboard units.

This policy, taken from the University’s Assessment and Student Progression Policy, ensures requirements for submission of assignments (and other work) to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable and that penalties are consistently applied.

Referencing Style

Students must use the Chicago author-date 16th edition referencing style when preparing assignments. More information can be found on this style from the Curtin Library website: http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/referencing  

When using EndNote, the style system that should be used is Chicago 16th B Curtin.
