• Semester 2 (External)

Synopsis

One  of  the  major  contemporary  issues  facing  management  is  the
management of strategic 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
change  management programs, in a context familiar and  meaningful  to
them.   Students  are  also  exposed to the concept  of  the  learning
organisation.
