For the assignment, think about a significant organizational change that occurred in your workplace. Think carefully about the steps taken by management during the change process, and the organizational change processes and concepts that you read about in the background materials. Then write at least a 2 full-page page paper and include 2 scholarly sources from the required and optional reading list addressing the following:
1. Describe the change that occurred in your workplace, and list the major steps or stages involved in this change, identifying the change model as Lewin’s three-step, Kotter’s eight-step, or the five-step approach of action research.
2. What stages were successful during this process, and which ones were problematic or handled poorly? Were the problematic or poorly handled ones seen as unethical?
3. What types of decisions had to be made by leaders? Did the decisions appear to be made in an ethical manner? What could they have done better?
4. Do you think the change process would have gone better if management used one of the other change models not used, Lewin’s three steps, Kotter’s eight steps, or the five-step approach of action research?

The references found online via a tool like Google, or even the courses may not be in correct APA format. For this reason, you are expected to research how to correctly format references. Do not just copy citations and expect them to be correct. The basic format of references are:
Author, A. B. (2020, December 25). Title of the article, Title of the Academic Journal, 55(3), 23-28.
• 55 is the volume number for this fictitious example of a perfectly formatted reference for a journal article. Article titles are never typed in italics.
