Undergraduate Programmes

Throughout the course we will examine individual, group and organizational-level issues, and the management skills needed to be an effective and successful organizational member. We will discuss what the individual brings to the organization (e.g. how individuals think, and how they influence and are influenced by others), and how that can affect behaviors and relationships with others. We will examine the role of groups and teams in organizations, and the conflicts and problems that can arise within them. We will discuss both the macro-side of organizational behavior (e.g. structure, design and culture) and the micro-side (e.g. motivation and leadership). The manager’s job requires constant attention to both. We will also examine emerging issues in organizational behavior in Asian organizations as a consequence of globalization.
