About this Course

In today's competitive, complex, fast-paced global economy, organizations cannot standstill. Organizations find that they need to change to succeed and survive. This course is geared towards deepening the students’ understanding of the challenges, the techniques, and the problems associated with initiating and implementing changes within organizations. An organized but eclectic and phased approach is adopted in dealing with the issues and methodologies of change management. The approach to managing change travels from the individual to the groups and to the organization. Change management requires changes in individual mindsets and mind sights (self-change), the ability to energise change changes in teams (group change) and leading change (organizational change). This course also involves and engages the students in the application of change management by examining their organizations and reflecting the challenges together through presentations and discussion. This course also emphasizes professional ethics in making ethical decisions.
