Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Quality Management/Change Management: Two Sides Of The Same Coin?, Felicity Mcgregor

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Change management strategies, as discussed in the literature, commonly share similar approaches and processes. Quality management or business excellence frameworks include many of the elements seen to be essential to effective change management. By adopting a management framework, a holistic approach to organisational change, development and innovation can be achieved. Instead of managing change as a series of events, a system wide approach is adopted. The disparate elements of effective management practice: human resources, industrial relations, customer relationship management, leadership strategies and planning processes are all integrated in a model underpinned by a systems approach and informed by systematic data …

The Economics Of Services In Changing Environment, Arja-Riita Haarala

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This presentation concentrates on the management issues associated with providing library and information services in a changing environment. The transition from print to digital media has been a success story in many countries. At the same time, libraries are under increasing pressure to justify their expenditure.
