Handbook

The Change Management Research Project (CMRP) is the capstone course for the MBA (Change). It requires reflection on a range of course materials. It is also very applied in that you are required to conduct field research, using a specific research design, and report your experiences. These theoretical and applied themes are blended to maximise your learning.

The main aim of the CMRP is to enable students to synthesise all their learning across the MBA (Change) specialisation courses studied, and to achieve an integrated and common understanding of them. In addition, this capstone course will add significant value to your Master’s degree by building on your knowledge and skills from a range of core disciplines (financial, legal, technological) that may have been developed through your previous courses in the MBA (Change) or prior study and professional experience.

As an AGSM graduate, it is expected that you will have the skills and knowledge to be an effective change-management practitioner at both operational and strategic levels. The change-management specialisation courses in the MBA (Change) have addressed a variety of concepts, issues and principles designed to enhance your change-management capabilities whether in commercial or non-commercial settings. The integration of these courses will be reinforced via this capstone course. It is therefore strongly recommended that it is the final course in your studies.
