MGT388 Organisational Change (8)

CSU Discipline Area: Management (MANAG)

Duration: One session

Abstract:

The magnitude and frequency of change occurring in today’s competitive, complex, fast-paced global economy means that organisations cannot stand still. They need to change in order to succeed and survive. Therefore, change is a normal part of business life. However, while the necessity for change may seem obvious, methods for ‘managing’ it (assuming change can be managed) are elusive. This subject critically examines the theoretical and practical tools and issues that face organisations when they confront change.
