[en] The “Change Management” question appears to be a key and crucial challenge, not only for projects managers and consultants working on the implementation of innovation projects but also for scholars having to teach this subject to their students. What is actually hidden behind the “Change Management” concept? What are the different conceptions of the “Change Management” idea? What are the models currently highlighted in the academic and professional literature regarding the best ways to approach the “Change Management” issues and challenges? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of these models? On this basis, should some approaches and models be favored to make sure the “Change Management” initiatives and actions are a success? These questions will be presented and debated during this introductory session, aiming at giving a general overview of the “Change Management” concept, basics, and current trends.
