Choose a Middle Eastern organization at which you are currently working or one in which you are familiar. (If neither is possible, conduct an internet search to identify a Middle Eastern organization which has gone through a transformation process within the last three years.) Then address the following:

• Provide a brief summary of the organization (its history, culture, industry, product, and services).

• Explain why a change was needed. What is the gap between the present state and the desired future state?

• How strong is the need for change?

• What is the source of this need? Is it external to the organization?

• If the change does not occur, what will be the impact on the organization in the next few years?

• Briefly explain if the change process was a success or failure.

• Based on what you have learned thus far in the course, evaluate the company’s readiness for change. Were they ready, why or why not? Would you have done anything differently?
