Description
This course has three aims: (a) to briefly identify the new and innovative ways that productive relationships have been structured at the intra-organisational and inter-organisational levels; (b) to investigate the challenges these pose for the concept of 'managerial work', and (c) to develop the managerial competencies required to manage dynamic 'agile' organisations. Topics covered include: the postindustrial age, managerial work, managing discourse, power, normative rule structures, teams, ambiguity and change. Group discussion is emphasised in this course. There is also a focus on the use of case studies.
