Here we suggest some specific readings and other resources that we hope you will find useful for your organisation analysis. The suggested reading will not be sufficient in themselves for you to complete the assignment and you will have to do your own individual literature search to complement these readings. I have not added the official website of the organisation in all cases but these will usually be a useful resource.
