Description
This course analyses the behaviour of individuals and groups within organisational structures and the interactions that occur between the individual, the group and the organisation. Students will analyse the relationships between patterns of human behaviour and management concepts and practices, and will develop the conceptual framework required to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of those practices.
Learning Outcomes
This thread is developed through three course themes:
1. collection and interpretation of information to achieve managerial outcomes (e.g. motivating employees);
2. assessing and managing performance of groups (e.g. conflict management); and
3. understanding and using the relationship between the individual, the group and the organisation to improve personal management practice (e.g. how selection practices can alter organisational culture)
