The first draft of the annotated bibliography will include eight sources discovered by the student in journal articles, books, or reputable business magazines and will cover the seminal research of change management theory, including scientific management, organizational development, and Lewin’s unfreeze-change-freeze model, and modern change models, such as Kotter’s 8-step model of change. The Annotated Bibliography Draft is due at the end of session two before Sunday at midnight. It will be returned to the student, and corrections will be made and additional sources added for the final version (this is 30% of the grade on this assignment, but this is used in the final version in order to get the total 100%, so spend time getting it right here). Use this Annotated Bibliography Download Annotated Bibliographyas an example.
Access two academic journal articles (via Rickman Library>Google Scholar with SWU Full-Text) (or original publications) relating to each of the following change theories/models (eight total articles):
- Scientific management (Taylor),
- Organizational development (Blake and Mouton),
- Three stage theory of change (Lewin),
- 8-step model of change (Kotter).
Note: The summary of each article should make it obvious to the reader which of the theories or models it references. The eight articles will be alphabetized, not sorted by theory or model.
Note: An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to academic sources to which an annotation has been added. An annotation is a brief description and evaluation of each source. Upon reviewing an annotated bibliography, a reader would be able to access the source, having been provided with a complete, APA-formatted reference, and know the relevance of the source to the topic (in this course, organizational change management). An annotated bibliography is developed in this course for the purpose of assisting the students with the production of a well-written final project that will be added to their portfolio. A sample of an annotated bibliography entry is provided by the Purdue Online Writing Lab.Links to an external site.

Sample Annotated Bibliography
Boddy, R. P., Ladyshewsky, R., & Galvin, P. (2010). Leaders without ethics in global business: Corporate psychopaths. Journal of Public Affairs, 10(3), 121-138.
This paper introduced the concept of Corporate Psychopaths as ruthless employees who can successfully gain entry to organizations and can then get promoted within those organizations to reach senior managerial and leadership positions. The paper proposes that this is a universal issue that can pose various ethical problems for corporations because of the ruthless, selfish and conscience-free approach to life that Corporate Psychopaths have. The researchers asked the question, “Are corporate psychopaths a universal phenomenon?” (p. 132), to which they concluded “it appears that Corporate Psychopaths are a universal phenomenon, but that behavioural manifestations of the syndrome may well be modified by cultural influences at the country or even at the corporate level” (p. 134). The relevance to leadership theory is the understanding that psychopathic leaders can blend into the accepted societal norms of the individualistic culture of the West, while collectivist cultures would suppress the expression of anti-social behaviors. The authors cited Stout (2005), who posited that “Western societies allow and encourage attitudes devoted to the pursuit of domination of others” (p. 132).
Goh, J. W. P. (2009). Parallel leadership in an “unparallel” world: Cultural constraints on the transferability of Western education leadership theories across cultures. International Journal of Leadership in Education, 12(4), 319-345.
Drawing upon the concept of parallel leadership in schools, the purpose of this paper was to examine the notion that Western educational leadership theories are universal in applicability in a Singapore school context. This article is a synthesis of the literature and its application to educational leadership (principal/teacher). There was an interesting table, “The cultural relativity of motivation and effective motivational techniques” (p. 333), comparing Australian and Singaporean cultural work values.
