Module 4 – Case
Managing Complex IT Organizational Change and Capstone Paper
Assignment Overview
The Impact of Various Internal and External Organizational “Environments” on IT Management
The ability to understand various elements within and outside your topic organization and the extent to which they affect information technology are keenly important to the organization’s management. One facet of this ability is to be able to successfully scan various internal and external “environments” (social, economic, political, and technological, etc.) at numerous organizational levels (as well as the demands of their various publics). This module will focus on gaining a better understanding of the “environmental” conditions facing your chosen Capstone organization and how to assess the elements of required planned change.
This module will be primarily devoted to the careful review of your previous Capstone Case paper segments, assembling them into a cohesive finished product (with one overall case introduction and conclusion) which reflects careful discussion, as well as the comprehensive integration/citation of previous MSITM coursework and other relevant sources.
