Subject Description | This subject will examine the underlying assumptions, models and applications of Organisational Analysis, with an emphasis on understanding links between theory and practice. Subject content will include an introduction to differing images or metaphors of organisations. For example, metaphors of organising may include images of organisations as machines, organisms, theatres and psychic prisons. Different organisational paradigms emphasise issues such as managing organisations as effective (and ineffective) systems, removing structures of domination, releasing human potential, and understanding the importance of social construction processes. The implications of these differing perspectives will be discussed in terms of classic and current approaches to core topics such as structure, power, culture, leadership and change. |
Assessment | A 2-hour end-of-semester examination (60%) and class assignments of up to 3000 words (40%). |
