• Semester 2 (External)

Synopsis

One  of  the  major  contemporary issues  facing  management  is  the
strategic  management  of  change.  It  is  essential  that  graduate
managers be familiar with and develop skills in this important  area.
In  this unit students will be required to: show an understanding  of
those   factors  that  affect  and  enhance  prospects  for   planned
organisational development and change; achieve a perspective  on  the
conceptual   foundations  of  organisation  development;   and   show
understanding  of  the  processes and  many  of  the  strategies  and
techniques  which  can  be  applied to  increase  organisational  and
managerial effectiveness; and demonstrate their ability to take  part
in   or   evaluate  effectively  some  well  documented  organisation
development exercises, in a context familiar and meaningful to them.
