AL530120 Leadership and Change Management

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand and evaluate key change management themes and theories.
2. Be able to use change management perspectives to assess organizational change dynamics, and design strategies for effective implementation.
3. Understand organizational renewal and innovation needs, and communicate different approaches to change for diverse organizational contexts.
4. Collaborate effectively in teams to address real-world change management challenges.
5. Develop an ethical and sustainable approach in relation to change management practices.

Students will be assessed through a combination of individual and group assessments. Assessment will be based on the following components:

1. Group assignment (40%).

2. Individual school exam (60%).

The evaluation will be based on the group assignment that counts 40% of the total grade and the school exam that counts 60%. The assignment should be completed/solved in groups of 2-3 students. Both assignment and school exam must be passed in order to be given a grade. Students are entitled to re-sit only the part of the examination in which they have had legitimate reasons for an absence or have failed. A re-sit examination will take place only during the designated period for re-sit examinations. Later exams will require that both exam elements must be repeated.

The students must complete a mandatory assignment to participate in the exam. Previously approved mandatory assignments do not need to be handed in again for later exams.
