• Use the four organizational frames and related concepts and literature to identify, analyse and offer a solution to an organisational issue that you have personally experienced. It is recommended that you choose an issue or problem which is complete (even if it was never successfully resolved), and which you see there is scope for learning by reflection. For example, you may have been involved in a change management process (e.g. a restructure, merger, acquisition etc) that did not work well. Note: you are free to choose the issue.
You will need to:
• Briefly describe the issue and the organisational context clearly.
• Critically analyse and evaluate the issue from the perspective of each of the four organisational frames: structural, HR, political and symbolic. In so doing, identify which frame(s) were dominant.
• Draw on your knowledge of the four frames to make specific recommendations for how the issue or problem could have been more effectively addressed or resolved.
• Support your analysis and demonstrate your insight into your issue by integrating relevant academic literature.
• Consider how you can support your claims and key points by using examples or data. Data may include informal interviews with key players, archival data (e.g. company reports, employee opinion polls, organisational charts)
