Management & Technological Change - MSc

A high proportion of change initiatives, including technologically focused ones, fail. This is often because of a limited understanding of human-technology collaboration. Adopting perspectives from social science, this MSc will enhance your knowledge of new technologies and, more importantly, foster your understanding of the practices, processes, and structures of work in contemporary society. This will equip you to bridge the gap between cutting-edge and evolving technologies and the people who drive their success. You do not need skills in coding or maths to enrol in this MSc, as the core modules focus on the application of social science theories and techniques.Key benefitsKing’s Business School is an ideal home for this Masters, given its strategic research focus on digitalisation; the focus on technology and expertise in the Public Services Management & Organisation department; and our connections to the King’s AI InstituteThe programme is designed to support you to develop a ‘digital mindset’ – that is, an appreciation of the realistic potential for, and limitations of, new technologiesEngagement with experts from public, private and third sector organisations who will discuss the implementation and evaluation of new technologiesOpportunities to apply knowledge and skills developed on the programme in an intensive team-based design sprintEnjoy an unrivalled location in the centre of LondonCourse essentials:The rapid proliferation of digital tools and new technologies presents unique opportunities for every organisation, whether in the public, private or non-profit sectors. Furthermore, tools like generative AI and robotics give rise to complex and contested relationships between people and technologies – raising questions around ethics, expertise, trust and accountability. Indeed, in many cases, the reason for the success or failure of technology projects is not down to technical issues, but rather the extent to which technologies resonate with people – their expectations, their work practices, their knowledge and their skills.Careers:EmployabilityAs a Business School student you not only have full access to all the award winning events and resources from our central team King’s Careers and Employability service but a bespoke service curated especially for you by our dedicated careers team.Develop greater self-awareness of strengths, interests and values.
