Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the perceptions that first year K—12 principals had about their mentorship relationship while leading their school through transformational change. The transformational change from the 1997 California Content Standards to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) caused a significant shift in the focus of educational leaders in California. Along with this challenge, there are many other new experiences that a first year principal will encounter. Mentorship is one way to support new principals to effectively navigate these new exper

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational change effectiveness. The theoretical framework for the study was transformational leadership. Midlevel managers who successfully implemented 1 or more organizational change initiatives in any large organization in the United States (n = 107) were conveniently selected to participate in the study. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Form 5X-Short was used to measure transformational leadership and the Project Implementation Profile (PIP) was use

Abstract:

Transformational Drama is theatre which acts as a catalyst for change in communities and in society. It addresses issues of social importance and changes people's perceptions, attitudes and reactions to those issues. This thesis explores the foundational theory behind transformational drama, including the use of drama as an applied art as found in the work of Jacob Moreno (the founder of psychodrama), Richard Scheckner and Augusto Boal. It then examines the reclamation of the transformational properties of drama from the behavioural sciences back into the conventional theatre by looking at the

Abstract:

The current environment of the automotive industry is affected by new technologies, growing market dynamics, increasing demands from customers, and regulations such as sustainability requirements. To handle rapid changes many firms are leaning towards a more agile and flexible way of working. Such transformations have a tremendous effect on how organizations are managed and led. This leads to challenges for the leadership that should be able to lead the organization and the people through changing environments. Transformational and servant leadership have been explored in the context of change

Abstract:

Today, global socio-ecological problems are too complex and urgent for isolated actions, and cross-sector collaboration is increasingly required to generate transformational change towards a sustainable future. Partnerships between businesses and civil society organisations (CSOs) in particular have the potential to achieve the required change for sustainability. However, the ‘backcasting’ approach used in this study highlights a gap between current approaches and what partnerships might look like in a sustainable future.

<p> The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of social media in advancing transformational change. Successfully implementing transformational change in an organization is heavily dependent on the support of key stakeholders. But engaging those stakeholders requires effective communication. Transformational efforts often fail because of the lack of credible communication or a failure to define a vision that can be easily communicated (Kotter, 2007). </p><p> Researchers say that the key to successful transformational change is embracing a communication based in the realm of c

The aim of this thesis is to show that Philippine’s economic development grows and develops by a process of structural change that is brought about by the introduction of innovation and technology transfer into an industry. Theoretical Chapters 1 - 3, in accordance with the overwhelming body of economic theory, innovation will be used as the driver of structural change. However, when applying the theory to Philippine telecommunications, Chapters 4 - 8, the term technology transfer will be used.

Abstract:

This research presents a knowledge-based perspective on corporate turnaround. In this research it is proposed that subverting existing knowledge is as much a part of the corporate turnaround process as other change management activities, a concept termed “dialogic knowledge subversion”. Conceptual development was supported by a literature review into change, knowledge, discourse and Bakhtinian theories. This theoretical investigation was further developed using two empirical studies. The first empirical work focused on the case study of an organisation which had turned itself around. Findings

Abstract:

Research on organizational change theory confirms the importance of leaders' ability to establish a sense of urgency, create institutional support for change, develop a vision, communicate the vision, empower others toward action, generate results, and ultimately create change in the organizational culture. Organizational change in nested systems, in which CEOs of individual units report upward through a state, regional, or corporate hierarchy, has not been extensively studied. To address this gap in the literature, this phenomenological study explored perceptions of college leaders who in 200

This paper examines the change in relationship between management and employees, which is shifting from an adversarial and controlling role to facilitation and employee empowerment. This paper's research question concerns how classical sociological theory would explain power redistribution within organizations and the formation of an associative and collaborative relationship which contradicts traditional paradigms.

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Despite the fact that local government is nothing like it was several decades ago in terms of the numerous reform changes it has undergone, within the South African context we find that many of the elements of bureaucracy still represent local government institutions. In this regard bureaucratic structures were designed to have compliant employees who make decisions according to specified behaviours and rules. This feature of bureaucracy ensures that its leaders are not encouraged to take risks. In a bureaucracy it is preferable to stick to the tried and tested hab
