1. Kotter (Ch. 10). Consider Kotter’s (1995) eight-staged change model. Then reflect on an actual organization change initiative from your own experience. Describe as many steps as you are able from that experience. Look for deviations or additional detail compared to the formal model.

2. . Stace-Dunphy (Ch. 10). Consider Stace and Dunphy’s (2001) map of change types. Reflect on an organization change initiative from your own experience. Try to categorize it according to the model. Assess why the change initiative was in that category rather than a different one.

3.. Institutionalization (Ch. 11). Consider the kinds of reinforcing changes that are necessary to keep behaviors from falling back to the status quo ante. Draw on systems theory to explain why this reversion so easily occurs. What role does inertia play in this frustrating phenomenon?
