MGMT621 - Management of Change

Change is a reality that managers face in all contemporary organisations. Understanding the complexities of the process and nature of such change requires rigorous analysis and synthesis of multiple sources of information.

If students are to be able to do this, they will need to understand the strategic role and drivers of change in organisations. In this unit, students will develop their knowledge of strategies, theories and practices of organisational change.

Students will apply their knowledge of change models, change diagnosis, change leadership and change interventions to the design of socially, environmentally, economically and responsible strategies for organisations in transition.

Students will develop their skills in the analysis, development, leadership, implementation and evaluation of change strategies for organisations experiencing the challenge of change in order to recognise their common responsibilities to all stakeholders.

The ultimate aim of the unit is to equip students with practical and ethical knowledge in managing change process that are aligned with organisational mission and strategy, benchmarked against best national and international standards and practices.
