Abstract

Schools within the University of Wolverhampton are contributing information technology-based study material to the BroadNet project, a technology-based network. This requires the schools to undergo change, which is in some cases significant. Participants in the project were interviewed, and their comments on the change within their schools were recorded These observations were compared to the change models developed by Havelock (1969) and Bennis, Benne, and Chin (1969), which were found to accurately describe the change process being experienced within the affected areas of the university. Attitudes toward change within the schools also may correspond to the progress made by the various schools in completing their study modules. A comparison is made with the Sustaining Innovation and Structural Change Project at Heriot- watt, and the applicable strategies for change included within this project are identified.
