SYNOPSIS

In this course students analyse and develop a better understanding and appreciation of the complex nature and importance of organisational change and the related leadership challenges. The early focus is to investigate the forces that serve as drivers of organisational change, and students will be required to be able to distinguish between the various types of organisational change and different approaches to the management of change in organisations. This study highlights the role of the planned approach to organisational change, as manifested also in organisational development. The learning extends to the processes involved in managing and leading change, including the important task of carrying out diagnosis, and its contribution to the overall objective of achieving meaningful, timely and (often, though not necessarily) lasting change. Various types of organisational change and development interventions are explored and students are exposed to the challenges related to choosing, designing and implementing appropriate interventions. Students are challenged to consider the need for organisations to be transformed in the context of an increasingly turbulent environment. Finally, students are required to contemplate the future for leadership of organisational change.
