Description including Unit Aims

This is a core unit on the MSc EFM, AFM and Management programmes that develops the basic theories of management and organisation behaviour. Starting with analysis of different paradigms used in management, the unit then introduces the main theories in their historical development. The major part of the unit covers a series of important issues. In each of these, theory and relevant examples will be examined and compared. The major issues covered include: organisation structure including the importance of contingent factors, the role of management, individual and group behaviour, power and conflict, organisation and national culture.
