•  The information you include in this assignment is for assessment purposes only. If
• you feel the need, you are welcome to change identifying information such as names of people, organisations and places.

• Task 2 (1,500 words)
• Analyse the scenario/event/problem by critically discussing the following organisational behaviour issues as they pertain to the scenario:
• 1. Choose two motivational theories from module 3 which are relevant to your scenario and critically discuss what impact the events/incidents/problems in this scenario are likely to have on the motivation of the people identified in the scenario. (500 words)
• 2. Draw on the content in module 4 to critically discuss group dynamics in the scenario. (500 words)
• 3. Draw on the content in module 5 to critically discuss communication in the scenario.
