Change Management and Sustainability - HRM317
This unit examines contemporary change management theory and how it can be applied in practice. From the perspective of change, archetype theory is examined in some detail, and students will be able to explore how various industries display different archetypal patterns. Change processes are examined in the light of these. From the perspective of learning, students explore how both individual and organisation world views restrict and filter out signals from the environment, and how the degree of cognitive complexity determines the strategic thinking capacity of the firm. Various organisational learning theories and processes are analysed in the context of a particular archetype and need for change. From an innovation perspective, students determine how organisational culture fosters and restricts innovation, and why learning methodologies are required. Further, the unit focuses on the techniques and practices necessary to develop a learning organisation.
