One of the most critical success factors for organizational leaders is the ability to implement strategically important change. Change of any magnitude is an inherently social process in organizations. Grounded in organizational behavior research and theory, this course provides practical understanding and skills to manage human resources in the context of strategic change. Topics include (but are not limited to): thinking strategically, culture, job analysis and design, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, and incremental and transformational approaches to change.
