Synthesis 2

Your exposure to specific models of change will include articles in this week?s resources that largely present meta-models of change. Among the resources are papers that attempt to organise the dominant models into particular themes. The more specific models are organised into overarching frameworks. You will also be exposed to alternatives to creating meta-models such as the following:
The development of meta-theory where scholars look through multiple models and track how a particular theme is relevant to them
Complexity theory, which attempts to introduce some understanding in highly unpredictable environments
Sensemaking, a social process that allows employees to integrate new and unfamiliar elements caused by change into their established workplace existence
Given this week?s required readings and your further research, complete a 750-1,000 word Literature Synthesis by Saturday that:
Critically evaluates key arguments from both a scholarly and a practitioner-oriented point of view;
Critiques underlying assumptions evident in the articles and identifies any new insights for practice and scholarship;
Extends the thinking and application of your review with additional resources and experiential analyses.
Your Literature Synthesis will be brought to the Learning Set for further consideration to inform the problematising of the workplace-based problem you have chosen for this module?s CAL Project.
