ANZ bank which stands for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited is one of the largest banks in Australia with a history of more than 180 years and a global representation across 34 countries (ANZ, 2017).

a. create a concise name:Stopping inappropriate conduct

b. provide a brief description of the most important features or aspects:

The bank employees and traders manipulated the foreign currency market over several years.

c. categorise it according to at least one MMH356 intervention typology and type:

Typology #3: Interventions based on

managerial approach

d. Select an appropriate holistic diagnostic model of organisational behaviour, and briefly explain why that model is appropriate for diagnosingyour organisation in relation to these interventions in your Final Report:

The McKinsey 7S model is suitable to diagnose the organisation as it states that if the business has to be successful, there are 7 aspects of the organisation which need to aligned. From the case, it is clear that the corporation had lost inclination between the 7S of the organisation. Hence, there was a need to reincline the 7S in order to reincline them to solve the issue.

a. Create a concise name: Intervention to not raise the rate of the bank tax

b. Provide a brief description of the most important features or aspects:

The ANZ bank Chairman requested and urged the government to not the raise the bank tax. He presented the tax as a sign of the poor relationship between banks and the broader community

Typology #3: Interventions based on managerial approach

d. select an appropriate holistic diagnostic model of organisational behaviour, and briefly explain why that model will be appropriate to diagnose that intervention in your Final Report:

The Burke- Litwin causalmodel oforganizationalperformanceand change

The case issue is regarding the relationship of the bank with the external environment i.e. customers.
