MN-2009 Change Management
Module Overview
Introduction
This module is all about the theory and the practical application of change in a business
environment. The module has been co-designed and will be partly co-delivered with colleagues
and collaborators from Industry. The content encompasses all of the aspects involved in taking
an organisation, a project or people from a current state to a future desired state. Students will
gain knowledge of the theory and practice of organisational change so that they understand how
to both help drive change within an organisation and how to manage this change effectively.
The module will expose students to a wide range of theories, case studies and practical tools to
give a broad basis on which to build knowledge. The module is highly multi-disciplinary and is
extremely relevant to business practice in modern society, which is characterised by the need for
constant change and development. As such, change is recognised as being one of the most
critical aspects of modern organisations.
Change Management has a long history and a large amount of research has been conducted
in this field. However, change is something which is used in practice throughout the world and
different walks of life, therefore it is not just an academic issue but also a practical one. The
module encourages students to engage by considering change in industry in the context of their
own experiences.
This booklet contains:
• an introduction to the module
• details of all learning interactions
• details of the core textbooks via the reading list
• information on assessment and feedback, including the coursework brief
• an overview of the entire module
Module Delivery
Lectures will be delivered in person on campus. The lecture for this module is timetabled on:
Wednesdays 9-11am in Y Twyni 108
A recording will be posted on Canvas within 48 hours following the lecture.
Seminars
All students will have on-campus seminars for this module during weeks 2, 5 and 8 ONLY. This
means you will have a seminar week commencing 9th October, 30th October and 20th November.
Seminars will be delivered in person on campus.
Group A – Tuesday 9-11 in SoM 102
Group B – Tuesday 1-2 in SoM 102

Students will be automatically allocated to seminar groups. Students who need to change their
seminar group, for good reason, should e-mail studentsupport-management@swansea.ac.uk.
Seminar times may change in the first two weeks of term. Please check Canvas announcements
and the timetable data displayed on Publish/mytimetable for regular updates.
Optional Drop in Sessions
During the weeks where you have no seminar you will have an optional drop in session instead.
This will be face to face on campus 9-10am in SoM 239. The purpose of these is for them to be
student led. You can use these sessions to ask us any questions you may have, to discuss certain
topics of the module or to discuss assignments. They will not be pre-prepared seminar tasks and
will be student as opposed to lecturer driven. If you have other teaching at this time please utilise
office hours instead.
Communication
All information related to the module will be conveyed to students via Canvas through the
Announcements feature which will also send an e-mail notification to student accounts.

Reading Material
Every effort has been made to provide the books and journals featured in the reading list for this
module in digital and hard copy format via the library. For more details of the resources available to
support your studies please consult the Library Services Guide for Management or watch this short
recording by Subject Librarian, Naomi Prady.
The full reading list for this module is available via Canvas
The core textbooks for the module are:
•
The Theory and Practice of Change Management (Fifth Edition). Professor John
Hayes. Palgrave Macmillan
3
Other Resources:
• CMC Partnership
• Change Management Institute
• PROCI
• McKinsey
• Journal of Change Management
• Harvard Business Review
• OECD
• Nesta
Previous versions of the textbooks are available online and these are not fundamentally different so
can be purchased as alternatives.
A core textbook is only a starting point and provides introductory and background information only.
Supplemental reading will be identified at each lecture. To achieve high marks in this module
students will need to do background and supplemental reading as well as conduct their own
independent research, for instance through the reading of academic journals, into the topics
identified.
Assessment
The assessment for the module is structured as follows:
•
•
20% Discussion Board contribution
80% Poster and Supporting explanatory brief.
o The poster element of the assessment will make up 45% of the marks
o 5% of the marks will be awarded for attendance at the second seminar where
students will be expected to bring a draft version of their poster for feedback and
discussion
o The 1000 word supporting explanatory brief will make up 30% of the marks
•
Resit – 2500 word essay covering a topic of the students choice from the module worth
100% of the overall module mark.
If you fail this module you will be required to submit a piece of coursework during the supplementary
assessment period in early August 2024. The resit coursework will be weighted as 100% of the
overall module mark – the initial assessment weightings do not apply for resits
Submission in Welsh
Any written work submitted as part of any assessment or examination may be submitted in Welsh,
and that work submitted in Welsh will be treated no less favourably than written work submitted by
you in English as part of an assessment or examination.
Canvas – Digital Learning Platform
To ensure that students have everything they need to get the most out of Canvas, the University has
produced a comprehensive guide called “Passport to Canvas”, which can be accessed via this
Passport to Canvas link.
4
“Passport to Canvas” will always be available to students, meaning that they can go through the
material in one go, or dip in and out of it as required. Students can access the platform via this
Canvas Platform link or from within the university apps and the MyUni webpages.
Canvas Support is available 24/7 365 days a year in the following ways:
•
•
•
Canvas Support Hotline
Canvas Chat
Report a problem
Students can also access these avenues of support via the Canvas Help icon in the navigation menu
on the Canvas Platform. The Canvas Student Guides and Canvas Online Community may also be
helpful.
Note on Terminology
For the purpose of all information, regulations and policies associated with Swansea University, we
use the terms ‘Module’ and ‘Programme’ when making reference to students’ studies. Modules are
discrete educational components of a programme which, when considered collectively, make up the
required credit for students to complete each level of a programme.
However, in Canvas, your Digital Learning Platform, the term ‘Modules’ has a different meaning – it
is used to describe where all of the learning resources are stored. For this reason, students will see
the term ‘Course’ used in Canvas instead, but it means the same as Module (above).

School of Management
MN-2009 Change Management
Individual Coursework Assignment 1
The first coursework assignment for this module is a discussion board worth 20% of the overall
module mark due by the 1st of December.
Coursework Brief
Discussion Board
A discussion board will accompany this module. Each week a topic will be posted by the lecturing
team. Students are required to comment on a minimum of 5 topics and to respond to a minimum of
5 peer posts. Each post will be approximately 100 words. Therefore, at the end of the module
students will have contributed 10 x 100 words – 1,000 words in total. Students will be awarded up
to 10% for every contribution that they make.
Please note that marks will only be awarded for genuine contribution to the topic under discussion
not just the fact that something has been written. We encourage students to exercise creativity and
their opinion in a professional way, please be mindful that any contribution can be seen by your
peers, the lecturing team, the CMI and staff in the School of Management. Professional and
courteous responses are therefore required. Contributions to the discussion board must be
completed by 2pm on Friday 1st of December and will be marked by mid-January.
Key Marking criteria will include:
• Level of critical analysis
• Quality of Writing: Readability and ability to convey key message(s) concisely.
• Insightfulness of your analysis: Interest and usefulness of thoughts and findings.
Word Count
The maximum suggested word limit for this assignment (excluding references,
tables, contents page, footnotes, charts, graphs, figures) is 1000 words. This is
expected to be delivered in 10 x 100 word comments.
Submission and feedback
This assignment must be completed by 2pm on Friday the 1st of December via the discussion
board. Marks will be provided by mid-January.

School of Management
MN-2009 Change Management
Individual Coursework Assignment 2
The coursework is a poster with a 1000 word explanation worth 75% of the mark due by the 27th
November.
Coursework Brief
You will produce a poster (size A3) and supporting explanatory brief of 1000 words on a topic of
the students choice from the module. To be submitted Monday 27th November. The poster will be
expected to:
• Convey an understanding of the chosen topic
• Convey the latest thinking and research in the area (through the use of both academic and
practitioner citations)
• Utilise figures/tables and images to express pertinent points
• Utilise case studie/s to highlight the topic in practice
• Communicate the way in which that topic links with other topics in the module
• Correctly cite robust academic and practitioner sources
Although this may at face value seem like a short number of words the marks are awarded for your
ability to share complex knowledge in an engaging and accurate way. This is similar to how you
will be expected to convey information in the workplace and therefore aims to develop your
employability skills.
The poster will be submitted through Turnitin on the 27th November but will be presented during an
interactive seminar in week 8 of teaching (week commencing 20th November). Students will be
required to bring their poster to this session (printed in either A4 or A3) and the paper versions will
be collected during the seminar. Please ensure you also bring a digital copy if needed. Students
will be able to look at each other posters and discuss these with students and staff. 5% of the
module marks will be awarded to students who attend this seminar and present their draft
poster. This will enable students to gain feedback on their poster prior to final submission.
Students will be expected to submit the final version of their poster along with a 1000 word
supporting explanatory brief covering key points conveyed in the poster in more detail by 2pm on
Monday the 27th November. It is important that you submit these in the same document. No matter
what software you use to create your poster you will need to present this in a single document with
the poster image and explanatory text together. This can be submitted into Turnitin in word or PDF
format.
Seminars in week 5 of teaching will be focussed on how to create a poster and what is expected
from an explanatory brief. Students who need to re-sit this assessment will do so via a 2500 word
essay covering a topic of their choice from the module.
Key Marking Criteria
•
•
•
•
•
Presentation/Use of visual aids (in relation to the topic)
Evaluation of chosen topic
Referencing
Use of organisational examples
Structure/Presentation (in relation to the topic)
7
Submission and feedback
The poster and explanatory brief will be submitted through Turnitin by 2pm on the 27th November
but the poster will be presented during an interactive seminar in week 8 of teaching (week
commencing 20th November).
Please note:
•
The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 20mb. If the file is larger than this, it is usually
because it includes a lot of images – these should either be removed, if possible, or converted
to a more efficient format to reduce the file size (e.g. .png or .gif).
•
Students should ensure that their student number is part of the title of the filename for the
work submitted/uploaded.
•
IMPORTANT: Any student submitting an assessment past the published deadline without
submitting a request for Extenuating Circumstances (in line with the Extenuating
Circumstances Policy) will be deemed to have not submitted, and receive a mark of 0% for
the assessment.
Students who are likely to be prevented from meeting the assessment deadline due to
extenuating circumstances should notify the School by emailing extenuatingmanagement@swansea.ac.uk as soon as possible before the assessment deadline. Please
refer to the Extenuating Circumstances Policy for further information.
Digital Submission of Coursework Instructions for Turnitin Submissions and instructions for
the Digital Submission of Media Files via Canvas can be found on the Canvas Module page –
Coursework and Submission Information (in the Assessment and Feedback section).
Please direct any assessment submission queries to: somsubmit@swansea.ac.uk
Notes on Style and Word Count
Assignments are a critical part of the learning experience and development for scholars at Swansea
University. Practice will pay dividends when it comes to honing your skills in report and essay writing.
Students are therefore encouraged to submit the highest quality work they can, to reach their
maximum potential. Students with concerns about how to present their work can consult with the
Module Co-ordinator for guidance in addition to the notes listed below:
The maximum word limit for the explanatory brief (excluding tables, charts, graphs, figures, reference
lists but including in-text references) is 1000 words. The word count must be stated in the assignment
cover sheet.
Students are required to adhere to the maximum word limits and should note their final
assignment/examination word count in the space provided on the accompanying cover sheet.
Students will incur a 5-mark penalty for exceeding the word limit. Please note that word counts should
not include cover sheets, bibliographical footnotes, or bibliographies.
Students who submit work that is below the word limit will not be penalised. This is because
students will not have taken full advantage of the word limit available to them, which in itself may
constitute a penalty.
Full academic referencing using the Harvard APA (7th Edition) referencing style should be used
throughout the assignment. The APA Referencing Guide provides guidance on how to reference
using the APA style and this short recording by Subject Librarian, Philippa Price.
8
To gain higher marks, students are required to show analysis and reflection rather than simple
description. They should use multiple sources of academic literature to frame and justify their
analysis. All sources should be correctly identified – students are reminded the University enforces
strict penalties for plagiarism (up to and including withdrawal from the University).
Correct English spelling and grammar should be used at all times. Students who have been formally
diagnosed with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) will be contacted by the disability office and will
be supplied with a specific cover sheet.
Video, Audio or other Assessment Types
For some assessments, students may be required to submit a video, audio or other digital media
item. The University’s overarching privacy policy advises students that the University will collect
photographs and video recordings for the purpose of recording lectures, student assessment and
examinations. This processing and storage of this information is lawful as it is necessary for the
performance of a contract with the student and will apply to any personal data that we process for
the purposes of administering and delivering their course of study.
Student Privacy Notice – Swansea University.
Proof Reading
Please be aware of the University’s Proofreading policy which sets out what the University considers
to be good academic practice in relation to proof reading. Further information can be found by
accessing the proof reading policy.
Good Academic Practice
Academic integrity is fundamental to the values promoted by Swansea University. Academic integrity
reflects a shared set of principles which include honesty, trust, diligence, fairness and respect and
is about maintaining the integrity of a student’s work and their award. Academic integrity is based on
the ethos that how you learn is as important as what you learn.
Academic misconduct is to commit any act whereby a student may attempt to obtain for themselves,
or for another student, an unpermitted advantage. This shall apply whether students act alone or in
conjunction with another/others. This can relate to any form of assessed work. There are different
types of academic misconduct including plagiarism, collusion and commissioning.
The University takes academic misconduct very seriously and it can have a detrimental effect on
your results. If academic misconduct is found to have taken place, penalties will be applied.
Students should note that a claim of ignorance of the University’s expectations on good academic
practice is not an acceptable defence to an allegation of academic misconduct.
Self-plagiarism is the copying of work that was originally completed and submitted by a student and
resubmitted for another purpose, without acknowledgement. While self-plagiarism is not considered
as academic misconduct by the University, it is treated as poor academic practice by the School and
this is reflected in the marks awarded.
How can students learn about good academic practice?
Help with correct referencing is available from the School’s Library Subject Team – you can make
an appointment with a subject librarian for help with referencing. Access the library online
referencing guide for the School of Management. At the start of term, the library offers induction
sessions for new and continuing students and targeted sessions throughout the academic year. You
9
can also access information on good academic practice through the Swansea Centre for Academic
Success. More information on their services can be found on their web pages.
The Centre for Academic Success also provides a short online course on good academic practice
which can be access through the Academic Success pages.
Full information on Academic Misconduct can be found in the Academic Misconduct Procedure.
See also these useful guides on academic integrity and academic misconduct and understanding
plagiarism.
