WEEK 4 DISCUSSION
2
Vision and
Organizational Change
Locate one
scholarly article that discusses vision in relation to specific companies going
through organizational change. The change could be growth, decline, or some
form of restructuring. Select a company that is featured in the article and go
to that company’s website to view the vision statement for the organization.
Using the vision statement of your chosen company, discuss the following
points:
· Evaluate the
article and describe the current vision statement and the change occurring
within the organization.
· Does the vision
statement meet the challenges of the overall change initiative?
· Possible
revisions that could be made to the vision statement to meet the image of the
organization after changes have been implemented.

compare the change management concept with the contingency approach. Drawing
from this week’s lecture and readings, provide a specific example for either
the change management concept or the contingency approach. How might cultural
barriers and communication constraints affect the change process?
