Explain the company’s dominant origin. What has prevailed about the company since its inception? How has the company changed over time? How has it remained relevant?
First assignment here, Please don’t compare just Evaluate jet Blue airways: For this assignment, students will compare & contrast enduring business, and disruptive business models. This assignment is an opinion paper. Students can approach this assignment in one of two ways. Either by comparing two different companies, or by evaluating one company over time.
For this reason, when completing this assignment, students should use the same company chosen to write about for the course final paper. The selected organization for the final paper should be at least one of the companies used in this assignment. This allows for some of the content submitted for this assignment to also be useful in the final paper. Similarly, the organization selected for the final paper that is also one of the companies chosen for this week’s Organizational Change assignment, should be the company the student commits to using in next week’s Assignment 7. By following this advice, content in Assignments 6 and 7 can be used in the course final paper.
For this Organizational Change assignment:
Begin by watching this brief video of Gary HamelLinks to an external site. Links to an external site.(Mr. Hamel is an iconic business thinker). You may need to push the Play button to begin. Also review this slideshow on strategizing for innovation. Download slideshow on strategizing for innovation.
Option A for completing the assignment – Analyze 1 Company over its life span:
Select a company that is at least 25 years old. Also identify an innovative initiative it introduced somewhere in its lifespan. Address the following:
– Explain the company’s dominant origin. What has prevailed about the company since its inception?
– How has the company changed over time? How has it remained relevant?
– How has management prevented the failure of change processes? How has it been able to successfully evolve?
– Consider the various approaches to organizational change. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
– Under what conditions is one approach more suitable than another?
– Name one innovative product, service, initiative, or strategy that demonstrates the company’s embracing a shift.
– Connect a management strategy of the company’s with how it views innovation and new opportunities.
A successful submission will include thoughtful answers to the above questions, as supported by course resources in Canvas and in particular Ch. 11 of the textbook. Students are welcome to include professional opinion and write in the first person. Familiarize yourself with the assignment’s grading rubric to ensure the submission comprehensively addresses the aspects considered in the grading rubric.
Charts and figures may be included in support of the written content. Remember corporate websites are incredibly helpful to identify information about organizational management practices, but students will also want to rely on supportive articles and editorial opinion on the organization (or the business leader) when and how appropriate.

Students will demonstrate proficiency in business writing, including APA 7th ed. standards and citations, references, grammar, punctuation, headings, title page, and quality of sources with emphasis on scholarly references within the most recent two years.

F. Evaluate the organization’s ability to execute its mission and vision and demonstrate its organizational culture (See resources in all Canvas modules, and Cengage book Chapters 1-15). Worth 20%
