You are an OD practitioner and have been called to help in the merger of two financial organizations (both international organizations).
One organization is primarily in the property and casualty business but has also recently purchased an HMO organization focused on healthcare and insurance. The other organization is a large provider of life insurance, pension insurance, and other financial investment businesses. The first company mentioned has an entrepreneurial culture. The second company is very process-driven, and approaches work in a team-based manner.
Your job is to assist leadership in facilitating an effective merger so that the overall organization can quickly return to profitability and be perceived by shareholders as an effective combination of talent and business units.

The analysis should be between 500 and 750 words long. You are required to compose a film/literature analysis on the story, “Things Fell Apart. Okonkwo was willing to be exiled for seven years in punishment for inadvertently killing a fellow clansman. Why would such a dutiful follower of the clan’s way of life be willing to break the prohibition against suicide?
Is it possible Okonkwo felt he wouldn’t be seen as breaking a prohibition? How flexibly do members of the clan interpret their duties?
Is Okonkwo making a statement? If so, what is the statement about?
Did Okonkwo change during the course of the story? If so, how?
Achebe presents us with three choices: Okonkwo’s resistance, Obierika’s accommodation, and Nwoye’s joining the missionaries. What are we to learn from this story about choices and actions in the midst of change?
What fell apart?
