Good afternoon,

I’m currently enrolled in Strayer University, Managing Organizational Change (HRM560) course. Attached you will find instructions and rubric of Assignment 2. I have also attached Assignment 1 that I did last week showing the company that we have taken interest in. Also, attached is the same Assignment 2 from a great friend of mines that took the same class that we could go by without using the same wording as SafeAssign will pick up. However, we could use the references and any other references that you might want to include. I will need to turn this assignment in by Saturday, February 1, 2020. Really hoping that you can assist as I will be posting 3 other assignments after this one. Thank you.

Daniel
