Managing Change in Organisations (BCPM0051)

Organisations today operate in a complex business environment with constantly increasing stakeholder demands for higher standards of efficiency, integration and service. Change is a recurring feature in the modern world, shaping today’s organisations, across industries. The pace of change in organisations is intense and to manage change successfully they need to develop a critical mass of competent individuals who understand change.

In order to equip students to deal with change, regardless of its form and location, this unit aims to explore best practices and theories of change, whether at societal, organisational, group or individual levels of analysis.
