Organizational Communication: Innovation and Change (Instructor Guide) |
1.00 |
Innovation is a new idea or process that can change the way organizations operate or think. For an idea or process to be considered an innovation, the majority of people who hear about it must consider it new. Implementation of an idea is not necessary for it to be considered an innovation.
Innovation and change are closely related. When an innovation is adopted, it becomes a change. On the other hand, not all change is innovation. If an innovation is rejected after being adopted, the return to the previous method is not an innovation.
In this course you will learn to: identify degrees and characteristics of innovation, and adopt and encourage innovation, and identify the aspects of change.
This Instructor's Edition of this course includes notes and suggestions to assist you in presenting the material, whether in an in-person classroom setting, or as an instructor-led online or distance-learning course. It also provides you with the answers to questions found in mid-lesson activities, as well as in the quiz that concludes the course. |
