Task 1; Modernist Analysis
Present a modernist analysis of your chosen decision by applying at least one key theory from topic 3 (environment), topic 4 (social structure), topic 5 (technology) and topic 6 (culture). Apply the modernist understanding from these topics to explore the decision?s consequences.
As you enter into this analysis do not be surprised by the complexity of your organisation. Also aim to recognise that changing one element may affect many elements of the organisation. For example, an organisational decision could easily have cultural, political, technological and other implications for the organisation. Your analysis must include and address these implications in detail (with references).
Task 2 Symbolic-Interpretive Critique
Task 3 Postmodern critique
In the same spirit as Task 2, you must develop a critique (an alternative point of view) of your Task 1 analysis and solutions, this time from the
postmodern perspective. In other words, Task 3 asks that you must contrast your modernist view with a postmodern perspective for the decision you analyzed in Task 1.
