Task: Assessment is by one assignment, a critical essay of 6000 words which integrates theory and practice. The assignment must include a clear structure with an abstract, a bibliography and, where appropriate, appendices and diagrams. You must make appropriate use of journal articles and texts. References should follow the Harvard system

The assignment should contain:

Question 1. A critical review of theories of the nature of organisational culture, including how it may impact on innovation, and how it may be affected by the leaders of an organisation

Question 2. An examination of how culture influences behaviours related to innovation and change in an organisation of your choice

Question 3. A recommendation as to strategies and actions that could be implemented (by you or by the organisation's leaders) to enhance or create an appropriate culture

To preserve confidentiality, please anonymise the organisation or organisations you discuss in the assignment, eg by calling them Company X, or Governmental Organisation Y, or International Organisation Z. Similarly, where you write about private individuals, call them manager A, or leader B.
