| Course contents : | The course first presents various grids, available in management sciences, in order to describe the change projects, their nature, their scope, their temporalities, etc.
It also highlights how these changes may be explained, by referring to different theoretical approaches and by combining them in an integrated model, called « the five forces model ».
We then explore the way in which change processes may be assessed thanks to a multidimensional grid, directly resulting from the five forces model. In the same perspective, we propose to consider changes as processes likely to be anticipated, via more or less probable scenarios, putting the emphasis on the crucial role played by the management style.
Finally, changes are envisaged as processes to manage, by exploring diverse concrete avenues of action, linked to the theoretical approaches previously examined, in view of developing a "polyphonic" management style. |
|
| Course objective : | Studends are provided with theoretical and conceptual tools destined to design, in a relevant way, an action and change management plan. |
|
| Workshops : | Team works (3 students), under ppt format, concerning:
a) The descriptive analysis of a change process exposed by a company manager
b) The exploration of the explicative approaches underlying the change management methodology exposed by a consultancy firm
c) The design of an action plan linked to the presentation of a change project by a company manager |
|
| Organization : | Theoretical and conceptual elements are not exposed by the teacher in the classroom: they are supposed to be progressively assimilated, thanks to a programme of readings in the book mentioned below. A continuous investment, in terms of readings preparation, is thus required. Questions and answers periods as well as a forum on Lol@ are available in order to overcome the main learning difficulties.
The course meetings as such offer the opportunity to discover different invited speakers, exposing concrete cases of change, which will have to be analyzed thanks to diverse theoretical tools. A specific meeting is focussed on the analysis of video cases. The last meeting is devoted to the presentation, by a company manager, of a strategic change project: students will have to design, by referring to the course, a concrete action plan destined to implement this project and will be invited to an oral defence (by groups of 3 students) at the end of the module. |
