The course Organizational Change & Leadership consists of 5 lectures (including 1 lecture in which
you can ask questions) and 3 tutorials that alternate each other (see Nestor), but also of self-tuition
and working on assignments in teams.
The lectures support the learning process by clarifying the outlines of the textbook. The structure
of the textbook will be roughly followed, but the lectures will also discuss research and practical
situations to explain concepts and perspectives in the literature and make them comprehensible.
Additional articles may also be discussed. The slides will become available on Nestor soon after the
lecture. Some illustrations may not be available in the slides due to copyright issues. Slides will not
be available beforehand; lecturers make adjustments even shortly before the start of a lecture.
The contents of the tutorials are based on one or more preceding lectures. Your individual
preparation for each tutorial consists of completing two assignments . Your answers on these
assignments will be discussed in the tutorials. The tutorial thus provides you with feedback that
you may use in writing your team assignments for this course. Eventually, you build a teamportfolio with all six assignments.
You individually prepare tutorials. The contents and assignments of the tutorials follow the
outlines of the textbook and lectures. You will elaborate on different themes, usually based on a
case. You will be challenged to point out the case problems, to use concepts and models in
systematically and adequately describing these problems, to use theory in sharply analysing and
evaluating and in providing possible directions for addressing and intervening in a change
situation. You will bring the assignment answers to the tutorial in the form of a hard-copy Word
document. (= two copies of each of the two assignments).
3
During a tutorial you will be asked to give your answer to a question, and you will provide
commentaries to others and join in a group discussion. You will thus participate in dialogue and
debate and will provide each other with feedback.
You use the feedback and ideas to correct/enhance/further elaborate the answers on the
assignments that you have to hand these in as a team in one of the following weeks to be graded
(see section 8). By handing in these assignments as a team you build a portfolio consisting of the
corrected and upgraded assignments. Based on the quality of this team portfolio you obtain your
team grade. More detailed information can also be found in Dutch in the box under section 7.
