Description | Syllabi | Evaluations

This course addresses how organizations can make better choices about how to shape their organizations for higher performance, focusing on what researchers know about what works for improving results. Students will explore the contemporary rationale for organizational reform and will be required to develop an outcomes approach to evaluating the costs and benefits of a particular change. The course will also review the inventory of contemporary change strategies, including whole-organizational reform versus process reforms, evidence-based reform versus motivational strategies, leadership-driven reform versus systems-based reform, or radical, discontinuous change versus continuous improvement strategies.
