All organisations are being subjected to large-scale changes resulting from fundamental advances in technology, the globalisation of business and a shifting world order. There is a great flux and ferment not only within organisations, but also in many large-scale systems such as policy sectors, industries and communities. We can expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. These developments are forcing changes in the shape of organisations as well as in the way managers need to think, strategise and operate.
New approaches have emerged which can help us to better understand our new circumstances. At the heart of these approaches are three key concepts: systems thinking, organisational learning and action learning. These concepts form the basis of this masters program.
Candidates need to have completed, with an average grade of credit or above, either an honours degree or a graduate diploma in a relevant discipline, or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution. Candidates may be eligible for a maximum of two credit exemptions for subjects considered to be equivalent to particular requirements in the course of study. Refer to the course director for further details.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Department of Management as to the 2000 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
