Inhalt:
Change processes are a core element of the professional life in companies today. The challenges coming with change, are well known. Already in 1532, Niccolò Machiavelli described in his book "The prince" the difficulties to implement changes.
A variety of projects in companies still fail at these challenges today, for lots of different reasons. In globally operating companies intercultural aspects increase the difficulties. A number of prominent examples shows this: the attempt of the merger between Daimler and Chrysler, or BMW and Rover.
Especially the cultural component is often neglected in an organizational change - too often the goals are purely data-driven. Yet many studies have shown, that the corporate culture is just as important for a successful change as the strategy and the structure of a company.
This course offers an overview of this important topic: What is change management? Why is change so difficult? And what are the key success factors? These aspects are discussed with a specific focus on changes in international environments. Globalization offers both opportunities and challenges, which are considered in more detail.
A prerequisite for participating in this course is a very god command of the English language. The course - all lectures, as well as all tasks and the exam - will be completely in English.
In order to receive the ECTS for this course, participants need to hand in a group task every week (group size 4-6 students), as well as pass the exam at the end of the semester.
