XLRI MS in Positive Organization Development and Change

XLRI MS in Positive Organization Development and Change

The Master of Science Program in Positive Organization Development and Change (or MPOD), pioneered by the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, USA), is now being offered for the first time in India in partnership with XLRI Jamshedpur. It is specifically geared toward the needs of executives and change agents from around the world who face a torrent of continual change, increasing complexity, and growing interconnectedness in multicultural contexts; and who must respond to these challenges in ways that yield economic value for their organizations while upholding standards of environmental and social responsibility.

To enable busy executives to attend this program MPOD will be conducted in 6 modules spread over 15 months. The modules will be conveniently spaced 10 to 12 weeks apart-thereby making the program flexible.

Each module will be of four to seven days' duration. Four of these modules will be held at XLRI Jamshedpur or other Indian locations. The final two modules will be held back-to-back over a fortnight at Weatherhead's CWRU campus in Cleveland.
The intervening periods between program modules will involve project work, self-study, and online guidance by the program faculty at XLRI and Weatherhead.
