The aim of this unit is for students to understand the different types and scope of change that may occur in an organisation. The unit will aim to illustrate the drivers and triggers for change and how they vary and affect organisations in different ways, including the degree of impact and management’s response to change. Students will gain an appreciation of how the depth of change can influence organisational behaviour, both during and after the change. On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to apply a range of change management concepts, including diagnosing driving and resisting forces, planning for change and dealing with change in organisational settings. This will put students in a strong position to contribute to change initiatives in the workplace.
By the end of this unit students will be able to:
LO1 Produce a comparative analysis of the different types and drivers of change in business
LO2 Evaluate the impact of change on organisational behaviour
LO3 Examine different leadership techniques in decision-making for managing resistance to change and overcoming barriers
LO4 Recommend a range of leadership approaches to support the management of change initiatives.
