BMGT2001L Managing Change

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module will introduce students to the management of change in organisations. The topics to be covered include: introduction and impetus for change; techniques for diagnosing change; change interventions and evaluation; the reality of change management within organisations; surviving change: the special cases of restructuring and turnaround; leadership in organisations; leadership and the management of change: an integration. A range of practical workplace practice examples of the management of change will be introduced throughout the course through the use of case studies. The module provides for the blending of its theory and practice contents with the collective workplace experiences of the participants. To this end participants will be expected to contribute critical reflection on their workplace experiences along with collaborative interpretation of such experiences in both classroom and study group settings. Advance preparation for classes and workshops will be an important feature, with readings and questions for reflection assigned at the commencement of the trimester.
