Through a study of related theories and models, this course lays the foundation for an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of positive organizational change. In addition to investigating present and future trends in organizational change, students are shown how change can be implemented with biblical, servant-leadership perspectives and how such change models can be sustained for the long term. As part of the course assignments, students gain experience by designing a change model and applying it to their own organizations.
