Question 1
Change is often presented as something positive. Why do you think it is so? Is change always positive? What is ‘good’ change? Please illustrate your answers to these with reference to a case study of your choice. (Note: there is no need to write up the case if it is from the course literature. If it is not from the literature, a short summary will be necessary. Please use a real-life case).

Question 2
Turn to the DuPont case study in Palmer et al (p 211-212) and answer question three at the end of the case study. Reflect critically on your proposed intervention; “Imagine you are an OD practitioner brought into DuPont at the time of the Orlon manufacturing operation closure. Describe the steps you would take to help manage this change based upon action research”

Question 3
To what extent does a vision help to drive change? What problems can a visionary change manager encounter in his/her attempt at changing the organization? How are visions turned into actions that create followers? Illustrate empirically.

Question 4
How do communications and emotions influence the change process? What barriers and problems are inherent in the communication of change? Illustrate empirically.
