This task worth 40% requires you to write a report in which you present the identification and analysis of an organisational behaviour problem evident in a given case study. Then you are required to formulate a plan for intervention to address that problem based on relevant organisational behaviour concepts (a minimum of five refereed journal articles published in the past ten years) and their applications – you may also refer to your text in addition.  You are required to write a written report of between 1800 and 2200 words ( an average of 2000 words excluding, title page, contents and reference list), and submit your report via Moodle by your due date.
