Discussion Board Assignment: Organizational Planning/Planned Change
Choose one of the following questions to answer for this week’s discussion board. Make sure to repost the question you selected at the top of your posting.
How do you typically respond to change? Do you embrace it? Seek it out? Accept it reluctantly? Avoid it at all cost? Is this behavior like that of your friends and that of your family? Has your behavior always fit this pattern, or has the pattern changed throughout your life? If so, what life events have altered how you view and respond to change?
Try to remember a situation in your own life that involved unnecessary change. Why do you think that the change was unnecessary? What types of turmoil did it cause? Were there things a change agent could have done that would have increased unfreezing in this situation?
A brief introductory paragraph introduces the topic of the discussion. One or more succinct paragraphs are needed to answer each of the discussion board questions. Use current literature (5 years old or less) to support your views. Be sparing in your use of quotes. Learn to paraphrase the information you are sharing from a source. A paragraph at the end gives a brief summary of the discussion. The initial posting for each topic should be a minimum of 500 words in length (not including the references).
Use APA formatting, 12-point type font, double spacing, indenting of each paragraph, and proper spelling and grammar. You do not need a title page or a separate “References” sheet, but a “References” section should be included at the end of your posting if you cite sources.
A peer response (response to another student’s posting) is required for each topic. The peer response posting is typically 2 to 3 paragraphs or approximately 250 words (not including references). You are welcome to make several responses to peers, but only the first will be graded. Think of the peer response as a formal response to a colleague. Peer responses should add something new to the discussion. Do not just say “good posting” or make nonspecific suggestions/comments. Ask questions to further clarify the discussion at hand. Review the rubric for the discussion board, so you are clear about what meets expectations and what is exceptional and how points are allocated.
