Strategic management involves the formulation and implementation of the major goals and initiatives taken by an organization‘s managers on behalf of stakeholders, based on consideration of resources and an assessment of the internal and external environments in which the organization operates.
I’m studying and need help with a Writing question to help me learn.
The Lawler and Worley text describes three primary types of change: strategic adjustments,strategic reorientation, and transformational change. Offer a specific example of a current company in the media experiencing one of the above types of change and offer your opinion as to whether you feel it will have a successful outcome and why. What are effective organizational change leadership characteristics and behaviors within an organization? Does this organization exhibit these characteristics?
Your post should be at least 400 words. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings by Day 7.
For this paper, select an organization with which you are familiar, (if working as a group brainstorm and decide on one) and use Bolman & Deal’s common fallacies to analyze the organization’s functioning and behavior. The organization may be one in which you work, volunteer, or otherwise interact – you should know it well enough to be able to describe it in detail and apply the organizational problems effectively.
Include analysis of at least one fallacy, demonstrating how the fallacies make sense of the organization’s systems. The fallacies from Bolman & Deal include: blaming people; blaming the bureauracy; thirsting for power. You must have a minimum of 5-7 articles outside the course texts in your reference list and the material from these articles must be integrated into the analysis.
APA style must be used throughout the paper, including headings, citations and reference list.
Your paper must include the following elements:
Description of the organization including overview of its systems.
Discussion of how the fallacies interact or co-exist in the organization
Discussion of how identification of the fallacy can be applied to the improvement of your organization’s systems that deals with the specific leadership opportunities you identified for your organization through this assignment
If done as a pair/group – all names should appear on the cover sheet, each person should upload the final draft of the paper to their individual drop box – and “note well” each person receives the same grade.
Paper Requirements:
Length of paper 5-7 pages not including the title or reference page.
Use 5-7 scholarly references to support your research and arguments. Must be published within the last 5-7 years.

Each student will develop an 8-week psycho-educational group for working with a particular issue that children or adolescents face. Some suggested topics include:
You will create a 2-sided brochure or flyer advertising the group. The brochure should address the “who, what, when where, and why” of the group. Be sure to include the following: an introduction which describes the theme and purpose of the group; the significance of group attendance (i.e., what would attendees have to gain from the group?); the screening criteria (e.g., age range, gender, etc.); when and where the group will meet; and your qualifications to lead the group (this can include your future aspirations for qualifications). Make sure that the theme for the group and the corresponding weekly topics and activities are developmentally appropriate for the age range you have selected.
The brochure must include eight weekly topics to be covered and corresponding activities to address each of the weekly topics. Be sure to include plenty of detail about the weekly activities so your reader will know exactly how you plan to carry out the activities. This will be more detail than would typically be included if you were to advertise a group in the “real world;” however, the detail is necessary for the purposes of this assignment.
Feel free to include graphics and pictures to make your brochure or flyer attractive to potential participants. Make sure that the information and layout is organized.
The idea for this assignment is that you are gathering resources and ideas for the group and making them your own; however, do not intentionally plagarize. A reference page is not necessary for this assignment unless you rely heavily on one person’s work (e.g., activities from a specific DBT workbook).

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.
