| Brief description of the Unit |
Management of Change and Organisational Development (MCOD) covers the complexities of the change process and aims to introduce the fundamental concept of change. As the rate of change is accelerating, understanding the role that effective change can play in improving the quality of work life for individuals is essential. Improving organisational effectiveness and developing in students the capacity to identify and analyse significant change issues within organisations is also covered.
The course will also assist students to develop an understanding of the broad strategies for bringing planned change at the organisation, group and individual levels. Providing familiarity and experience of the main techniques and methods of organisational change enables students to develop awareness of their own personal style, attitudes and behaviours relevant to the management of change, and to develop critical personal and interpersonal skills for effective management of change. |
