Indeed, these events showed how value added is the development of relationships across the Atlantic to share knowledge and experience in the field of research on themes such as:
- Comparing research methods
- Comparing the Doctoral and MS-OD Curricula in the field of ODC in various countries
- Preparing a Ph.D. or a MS-OD when in active life
- Research on change management theories and evaluation methods of the results
- Bridging the gap between change methodologies and management control approaches to planned change
Format of the 2012 conference and doctoral consortium:
The consortium will consist of two kinds of presentations:
- Papers, conferences and testimonies proposed by academics aimed at presenting the various and supplementary approaches applied to change management in different cultural settings.
