Students will read and discuss several cases depicting change initiatives in different organizational circumstances. The cases do not have specific answers; therefore the ability to analyze complex and ambiguous situations is important. Students should have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively, and to provide thoughtful comments when called upon in class. The final essay requires creativity, integration and synthesis of topics covered in class and in case assignments.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Demonstrate understanding of concepts and theories associated with organizational change.
2. Analyze change efforts in different organizational circumstances.
3. Define key elements involved in leading successful change efforts.
4. Describe the role of organizational culture in leading change efforts.
5. Use concepts and theories associated with successful organizational change to design a change initiative.
This course examines the nature of organizational change and the role of leadership in that process. Students will be introduced to several change theories and consider the strengths and weaknesses of existing models of change. Case studies of organizational change initiatives and a a change leadership simulation will be used to examine change dynamics and change leadership in different organizational contexts. Using theories learned and discussed in class, students will design a change initiative of their own choosing.
