| Course Description |
The objective of this course is to introduce participants to concepts and theories relevant to both micro and macro organizational behaviour. The micro elements are those pertaining to the study of the behaviour of individuals and groups in the organization. These include issues of leadership, small group decision making, personality differences and conflict resolution. Macro organizational behaviour focuses on the organization as the unit of analysis and its relationship with its environment. Topics discussed include organizational design and structure, power and politics, change and development. The concepts and theories at each level will be used to identify, analyse and discuss real-world organizational problems. |
| Learning Outcomes | This course will provide students with an opportunity to reflect upon and improve their approach to managing people in organisations. The course I designed to help us think in new ways about people in organisations by consciously adopting metaphorical 'lenses' or frames; the structural/rational, political/meaning. Consciously framing our approach to organisations helps us to: analyse and action plans for various interpersonal, team or organisational situations; critically assess managerial fads; use a common language for shared problem solving; improve relationship skills such as conflict management and communication; and improve leadership in the complex and ambigous world of modern organisations. |
