| Description: | |||
| This unit will examine the nature, meaning and purpose of organisation theory. An overview of the traditional approaches to organisation theory will provide a foundation for the study of organisations. The mainstream management literature emphasises the structural aspects of organisations but tends to neglect issues such as control, power and diversity as well as the more subjective concepts such as the perceptions and self-organising capacity of the people who work within them. This course will explore organisations utilising alternative perspectives to encourage the student to develop creative and critical ways of thinking about organisations. The approach taken will also facilitate a better understanding of the dynamics and difficulties associated with the design and restructure of organisations in a complex and global society. | |||
