摘要:Normal 0 false false false EN-CA X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 One of the features of effective organisations is the ability to adapt to an ever changing social, political, economic and technological world which has a huge impact on growth, development and performance . The process of managing that change is riddled with various challenges which managers and employees have to surmount to ensure a smooth transition from the current state to the desired state of affair. Higher education institutions like universities which want to be effective in teaching, learning, research and outreach programmes and therefore inject a strategic impact on their public and private sector clientele need to embrace change. Founded in 1982, the University of Botswana in Southern Africa, has undergone various processes of transformation to ensure that it is effective in its mandate as the only public university over the past two and half decades. Based on documentary sources and the author’s experience as an academic member and facilitator of departmental and faculty strategic plans as part of the change process at the University, this paper analyses the change process which the University of Botswana went through in introducing and maintaining a new performance management system. It identifies benefits, challenges and lessons involved in managing this change initiative.
