Agenda 06 - 12 December 2015

Titel: Mental models on organizational change in African higher education. A qualitative case study at Copperbelt University in Zambia. Hoe denkt de lokale stafZambia van een universiteit in Zambia over organisatieverandering? Egide Maassen heeft de dominante ‘mentale modellen’ over organisatieverandering in kaart gebracht en vergeleken met de literatuur over management en verandering in sub-Sahara-Afrika. De lokale context en cultuur maakt dat stafleden in Zambia anders naar hun organisatie kijken dan bijvoorbeeld in Nederland. Dit heeft verstrekkende gevolgen voor de wijze waarop organisatieveranderings-processen zich voltrekken, blijkt uit zijn onderzoek.
