Course content

Aim of the course
The course focuses on the analysis and design of implementation of organizational change related to information systems (IS) as either cause, means or result for organizational change. The course has an action oriented focus and will challenge the students to choose and use a theoretical perspective for analyzing a case as well as design an intervention plan for implementation of the suggested changes. The course will introduce a variety of theoretical perspectives for analyzing and implementing organizational change in relation to IS. Students will work on an empirical case of their own choice throughout the course to address the challenges of organizational change involving IS. The results from the theoretical analysis and the implementation plan should be documented in a written assignment which will form the basis for an oral exam.
Teaching methods
Teaching will be based on lectures and on supervision of students’ own work with an empirical case. Students will engage in and discuss their own case studies and work on a project to explore the subject. There will be two supervision sessions where 4 groups will read and discuss each other’s projects facilitated by a teacher.

Active participation from students is expected in class discussions and the students are expected to attend the lectures as well as the supervision sessions.
