APA EnglishMinimum of 10 referencesMust references and use content to Austrlaia During the subject you will be introduced to a number of change management theories.Examples of theories that are relevant to explore include Life-cycle theory (Van de Ven andPoole, 1995), Kurt Lewin’s change management model (Lewin, 1947), the McKinsey 7-Smodel (Peters and Waterman, 1982), Kotter’s model of change (Kotter, 2014) and, Nudge(Thaler and Sunstein, 2008).

This means that an essay requires a strong argument running throughoutfor one interpretation as against other possible interpretations. It should have a principalargument, clearly set out in your introduction, which runs throughout your essay. This is whatyou are arguing for.
