My objectives are to transform the organizational structure of ACME to enable them to meet the public need and to gain the knowledge and expertise required to challenge the competition.
To achieve these goals we must develop a plan. In order to implement a plan I must effectively identify that a problem exists by realizing the three characteristics of a problem: 1- Be aware of the problem; 2- Be under pressure to act; and 3- Have the resources to take action.
With that said, I have identified the challenges I will face in this process. I will begin by explaining what change management is and the specific issues ACME will have along with how I plan to resolve them

In formal structures, decisions get made through personal influence and are not made by people who are meant to make them. People argue about who should be doing what and some things do not get done at all. The organization can sometimes seem fragmented and time and resources are wasted.

Theories of socialization and personality development are not enough to account for gender differences. For one thing, they underestimate how much behavior can vary over time and in different situations.Gender is a taken-for-granted social structure that organizes all areas of social life. This book develops a theory to account for both the continuity of that structure and the efforts of feminists to change it. The book focuses on the heterosexual family, where "doing gender" is especially accepted, but it challenges
