Literature Review Resources
Successful completion of a doctoral dissertation requires significant amounts of independent reading on the research topic. This allows the doctoral learner/researcher to become familiar with the scope of the topic and to identify gaps or tensions within the existing literature on the topic. These gaps and tensions become the source of the dissertation research. In this assignment, you will read and annotate potential sources in your dissertation field of interest. Those demonstrating the most merit to the best of your understanding of the topic at this time should be added to your RefWorks list for potential inclusion in the literature review section of your dissertation.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
Directions:
Read at least five empirical articles in your general dissertation field.

CASE STUDY
Samson Media is a publisher of several upmarket fashion magazines. It has strong links with a number of high profile fashion houses whose products are featured in the magazines and also provide a significant source of advertising revenue. Readers of the magazines are predominantly 35 – 54 year old women.
Readership has fallen over the last two years. This is due in the most part to due to competition from a range of other fashion magazines and consumers switching to digital media. Due to the decline in readership, profits have fallen by 20% and there has also been a fall in the share price.
As a consequence, a new CEO, Amir Johnson, has been appointed. Amir was the former Marketing Director for a well-known successful media business that included a national newspaper, magazines and a subscription television channel. The success of this business was based on targeting lower income groups and its publications are focused mainly on sport and celebrity gossip. They were also successful because they were able to undercut its competitors with low prices, enabled by a ruthless approach to achieving high levels of efficiency.
Amir and his team of Managers have developed a Strategic Plan that includes the following objectives.
? Increase return on capital to 8% within 2 years
? Enact a transformational change of the company that will convert all magazines to a digital format only.
? Achieve cost efficiencies through reducing running costs ? Relocate to a smaller office.
It is intended that the new digital magazines will have the following features:
? Focus on health and beauty, fashion and celebrity gossip.
? Some free content but full access available only on a subscription basis.
? Additional features available to subscribers such as video clips, podcasts and discussion Running costs are as follows. All staff are full-time permanent staff and their total salary costs per annum is $3,370,000.00. The cost of running the printing and distribution site, plus staff costs is currently approximately $1,500,000 per annum. The current office rent is $500,000 per annum.
As the General Manager, you have been asked to lead the development and implementation of the change management plan with the first step being to consult with an organisational change expert to discuss issues and strategies for change management for the company.
It is anticipated that while there will be some cost savings in making the change, there will also be costs involved including:
? Redundancies – anticipated cost is $300,000
? Upskilling staff – $100,000
? Consulting with experts – $100,000
? Communication throughout change with key stakeholders – $100,000 ? Office relocation – $50,000 – $80,000.
PART A – RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Review scenario and conduct research and analysis
a) Review the information in the scenario provided above and analyse the company’s strategic objectives and identify the change needs. Make notes on your analysis for use in your plan as outlined below.
b) Review existing polices/practices at Samson Media against strategic objectives and the need for change and make notes identifying changes needed to use in your report. Identify if the change required due to performance gaps, business opportunities or threats, or management decisions.
c) Conduct research on change management – the issues and practices including barriers that can impact on change and best practice change management strategies. Also research trends in magazine publishing/on-line magazine readership and analyse the impact the impact on Samson Media’s organizational objectives as per the scenario information.
d) Consider major operational change requirements and recommended order of priority.
e) You will need to identify your sources of information to show that you have identified expert guidance on change management so make notes on all the sources of information you identify and use.
f) You are not required to hand in anything for this part for the assessment.
PART B – DEVELOP A CHANGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using your research and analysis develop a Change Management Plan for Samson Media.
The Change Management Plan must address:
a) An overview of the change management process
b) An overview of the current situation facing Samson Media including:
– Identification of the need for change and an analysis of the situation that has bought about the change (performance gaps, business opportunities or threats, or management decisions)
– A review of existing polices/practices at Samson Media against strategic objectives to identify change requirements.
– An analysis of the external environment relevant to Samson Media and its objectives, including events/trends that impact on strategic objectives, including trends in magazine publishing, as well as trends in on-line magazine readership.
