BX3171 - Organisational Behaviour

Credit points: 03
Year: 2014
Student Contribution Band: Band 3
Administered by: School of Business (pre 2015)

Organisational behaviour is the study of the psychology and sociology of people at work. It is the systematic analysis of the relationship between context - other individuals, groups and organisation structures - and the actions of the individual. As such, we have adopted a case study approach to our exploration and discussion of such topics as motivation, group dynamics, individual differences, leadership and organisational design, among others. In our increasingly globalised business environment, all of this is considered in an international context.
