About this Assignment As organizations grow, particularly in the global space, change is inevitable. As businesses take on a more global facing model, management must be ready to facilitate the changes that ensue. This means creating plans for introducing and managing change. Lewin's 3-Stage Model of Change and Kotter's 8-Step Change Model are widely used to help overcome barriers to change in organizations. Drawing on what you've learned in this course, please choose one of the following prompts and write a 2,000 word (minimum) report to address it. Sources If you use any outside sources, please cite them using APA format in the PPT notes or in a separate works cited document. Prompt  You are in upper management for a mid-sized manufacturing company. Recent economic changes forced upper management to move much of the manufacturing to a foreign country. As a result, many of the state-side employees will be forced to work directly with foreign counterparts. There is great concern that the existing employees may not embrace the change, and you've been tasked with creating a plan to minimize the fallout. Develop a plan that will facilitate as smooth of a transition as possible, optimizing employee buy-in, satisfaction, and productivity. Write a report that explains the details of your plan, and be sure to integrate concrete examples and supportive reasoning for how to implement this plan following each step of Lewin's 3-Stage Model of Change.
