You are encouraged to first review this articleLinks to an external site.. You  may select any organization or department where you work or where you  have previously worked; however, you are strongly encouraged to diagnose  one problem area in the company. Attempting to diagnose an entire  company is not feasible, and you will become bogged down.If you choose a company similar to Walmart to analyze, select  just one area that you think needs improvement. For example, Walmart is  now very strong in online shopping, yet there are still glitches in the  system. Delivery times are often late, the packaging method has  problems, and some products come from unknown vendors that Walmart does  not guarantee. We may know this from personal experience, but that is  not enough. Statements, opinions, and experiences must be supported with  valid sources. There are many articles online that you can review  easily and quickly.Your sources for this paper must include research for the  company you choose, a valid source for the Kotter model, and your  textbook.
