The aim of this activity is to explore the issues and choices involved in developing an overall strategy for large scale change.The scenarioA long-established bank is facing strong competition from new entrants into the retail banking market. The new entrants specialize in the provision of telephone and Internet banking services and have a lower cost base because they do not carry the overheads associated with a large branch network.A director of the branch network in the traditional bank has proposed a strategy for responding to this competition. It involves closing down 20% of the branch networks in order to reduce overheads and increase net revenue per customer. At this stage, the details of the strategy have not been finalized. For example, the branches targeted for closure could be city center branches occupying expensive properties or small rural branches occupying low-cost premises but with relatively few customers of high net worth to the bank.Imagine that you are a consultant who has been engaged by the director who initiated the proposal. Your role is to help her to explore the feasibility of the proposal to increase profitability by contracting the branch network.ActionsYou have brainstormed, with the director and her immediate colleagues, a list of possible actions that could provide the basis for a strategy for managing this change. These are listed in the tableYou are invited to review the list of actions presented in the table and use your experience to:• Delete any items that, on reflection, you feel unimportant or irrelevant• Think about how the actions might be sequenced from start to finish• Allocate items to the appropriate steps in the change process, by writing in the step number in the space provided next to each action, in the table. These are the change management steps:

When providing a summary of source there are a few important aspects that must be noted. These include the basics about the source (author, publisher/publication, and date) as well as what the purpose of the source is. In writing your Source Summary, you should be about one page in length, 12-point font, double spacing (this is about 400-425 words). When writing your summary be sure to provide the answers to these questions:What is the author’s main point? What conclusions did the author reach?What is your opinion or evaluation of this source? What would be a good topic for which this source could be used? You are more than welcome to use any Primary Source you would like, but it must have been written before 1500 CE. If you choose one that is written afterwards and you do not consult me about it, you will be asked to do the assignment over. Here is a brief list of Primary sources I am providing for you. If you choose a source from outside this list, you are encouraged to only review between 5-10 pages of the work, depending on the text in question. If you have questions, please ask! :-)Available Primary SourcesDatabases and CollectionsTHEOI TEXTS LIBRARY: (Links to an external site.)Greek and Roman texts.Avalon Project at Yale (Links to an external site.): Medieval texts, there are also Ancient texts and texts between 1400-1500 CE (do not choose a text from outside of our time period).Eyewitnesses to History (Links to an external site.): a very fun site that has excerpts from various works and a short intro to contextualize the excerpt. Some of these are short, so make sure that you are pulling from a long enough text. You are more than welcome to do two if you want. And if you have questions then please ask. :-)The Internet Classics Archive (Links to an external site.): mostly Ancient Mediterranean authors, but a few from outside that region.Perseus Digital Library (Links to an external site.): great site for texts in their original languages. They have a lot of translated material as well, which is where the link will take you.Internet Sacred Text Archive (Links to an external site.): great site for everything religious or sacred in nature. The only issue here is that a lot of the dates they have here are when the particular edition is written, so that may be confusing. Most of the content here is eligible, even if it says it was written in 1890 or something. If you aren't sure then ask! :-)Chinese Text Project (Links to an external site.): I just found this one and I am not very familiar with it. Some of these texts have English translations and some don't. Poke around if you are interested.
