MGMT 537 - Organization Development Foundation

Students are introduced to the foundational ideas of organization development (OD) theory, informed by historical roots and current strategies. Case study analysis and discussion reveal fundamental concepts of OD; examination of change tools and strategies form a baseline understanding of change principles and approaches. Learning is both theoretical and applied; students will form the basis for a change in their own context, including identifying stakeholders and sponsorship, establishing information gathering methods and feedback approaches, and handling complexity.
