Abstract

The change process utilized within Murdoch University that resulted in the creation of a nascent School during the period from early 2001 through to its creation in January 2002 and its subsequent re-transformation by the beginning of 2003 is chronicled. An organizational change approach is called for that has active staff/employee involvement and ownership of the process in order to nurture real engagement with the outcome(s) and to minimise resistance to change.
