Due Date: Sunday at 11:59 pm EST of Unit 6
Points: 50
Overview:
The goal of your Final Paper is to describe how you would implement a major program
of organizational change as if you were a senior leader of the company, using one of the
following approaches:
• An organization-wide initiative to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
• Where work allows, moving from traditional “in-office” environment to remote
work or a hybrid model (partly in office, partly remote).
• Adopting CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) as a Key organization-wide
initiative.
• Increased automation in processes and the increase in the use of Artificial
Intelligent systems.
• Optimizing Digital communications (all forms of video, audio and text-based
communications) to replace or enhance traditional interactions.
• Six Sigma
• Organizational-wide, continuous Learning
• Kaizen
• Systems Thinking
Additionally, the Final Paper’s purpose is to draw upon as much of the course material
as possible, but specifically from Units 5 -7.
In this assignment, you will create a draft of your final paper.
Instructions:
The requirements for your paper are:
• Research the initiative you select and the business:
o What is at issue here?
o How will it affect large scale organizational change?
o What is the company you selected doing in this regard?
• Answer/address these questions:
HRM335 – Organizational Behavior
Unit 6.2 Assignment: Final Paper, Part 4
o What is meant by organizational change approach selection (i.e.: DEI,
CSR, Six Sigma, etc.)?
o What specific goals do you hope to achieve with this program? For
example, improve Return on Investment, Market Share, reduction in
errors, etc
o How will these goals be measured?
o How will the program be implemented?
o How will the company be structured to achieve these results?
o How will “buy-in” by the employees be gained?
o What is the role of leadership/management in the implementation of your
selected organizational change approach selection?
o Discuss the implications for organizational culture
• It is important that you are as specific as possible and that you use terms and
information gleaned from the text and from research! All research citations must
be in APA formatting.
• Specific, real world examples are preferred where possible (discovered by
research). For example, how did a company like Continental Airlines restructure
themselves? How do these examples reflect concepts we are studying? If you
must make assumptions to supplement the material you find, if insufficient real
world examples exist, then please identify when you have done so.
Your draft will include all of the required elements of your Final Paper:
You are expected to review the feedback left for you and incorporate it into your final
Paper that you will submit in Unit 7. The Final Draft will receive a grade of 0 if
any of the preceding deliverables are not turned in as directed.
Important Note: ALL five elements must be completed. If one or more elements is missing,
you will not receive credit for the final paper (i.e this means a grade of zero for the final
paper).
Follow the guidelines in each Unit to see the requirements and expectations for each phase of
the final paper preparation.
Deliverables and Grading Weights:
Unit Assignment Due Percentage of Total Grade
Requirements:
• APA formatted using double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font.
• APA formatted title and reference pages.
• The page length should be at least 8 pages, excluding title, abstract, or reference
pages.
• Use normal headings.
• Use of bullets acceptable, where appropriate, however, the entire work should
not be bullets.
• Graphics are fine, but no more than three which do not take up more than ¼ of
the page.
• A minimum of 3 separate citations is required.
• In addressing the questions posed, it is preferable that your paper “flow” as a

and again after you write.
