Research and write a paper where you will review an organization that you find needs to implement a change. Your paper will analyze the organization, identify its problems that make it ripe for a change, and apply a change theory.

(Limit your change model discussion to the two change models identified in the text in Chapter 16: Lewin and Kotter). This will require research using library data bases.
