BMT-1420 Organizational Management

Credits 3
The rapidly changing business environment forces managers and entrepreneurs to adapt or exit the organization/market. Even if a manager possesses strong strategic management skills, without the ability to manage change and exert the leadership necessary to implement change, the organization will fail. This course is designed to provide an understanding of the forces behind organizational development (OD), the managerial tools used to implement OD, and the managerial skills that will enable the manager to effectively introduce change into the organization.
