HRM207: Human Resources Learning and Development
This unit examines a range of theories, processes, and techniques for developing social capital in organisations. It also analyses change processes from a number of different framing perspectives such as the political frame and the structural frame. Organisational development techniques are considered in the context of a systems approach; one-off change and development processes are considered to be inappropriate when they fail to account for the contingencies of organisational forces. Thus, the unit examines several integrative theories of change management together with a number of intervention strategies. The alert student will note that intervention strategies of themselves may or may not work given the institutional values and organisational forces that flow in and around the organisation. The unit also examines ways to apply theory to practice so that real change agent skills are developed.
