MGT 5710 - Managing Organizational Change

This course examines ways to structure and implement organizational change in order to improve firm performance and respond to strategic challenges. Students will learn change management theories and how to apply them in the most challenging managerial situation - business turnarounds. The course uses in-class exercises, cases, and a team consulting project on an underperforming company to allow students to apply course concepts. The team project requires students to conduct an analysis of a local firm or division of a local company currently experiencing unsatisfactory financial results, and devise solutions to the problems causing the organization's poor performance.
