MGMT 460 Managing Change and Conflict
This course provides a theoretical foundation for the change process with practice in the application of concepts to genuine situations through the case-study method and simulations. Students will study the dynamics of change in individuals, groups and organizations, focusing on theory, research and current practices in facilitating the change process. Students will also study conflict versus confrontation and the development of skills needed to plan and augment change. Theories learned through group and individual projects such as role-playing, interviewing, real-life change incidents and the group decision process will be tested. Lecture. Prerequisite: MGMT 236, Management and Organizational Behavior; and WRIT 113, First-Year Academic Writing.
