Description

Introduction to the study of individual and group behaviour in organisations in New Zealand, within the context of a global economy.

The course is taught in two parts. In the first part we examine individual-level topics such as personality differences; perception and learning in organisations; workplace emotions, theories of motivation; and stress management.

We then move on to discuss team and organisational-level processes, including decision-making; group dynamics and teamwork; communication; power and conflict management; organisational structure and design; organisational culture; and organisational change.

Notes

Relationship to Other Courses:
This course is a prerequisite for MGMT301, MGMT303, MGMT304, MGMT305, MGMT308 and MGMT309.

Grading:
The various pieces of assessment may be scaled to determine a final grade and 50% should not be regarded as a pass mark. Assessment will be penalised at 10% of the maximum mark for every 24 hours after submission. After 72 hours assignments will not be accepted for grading.

There will be NO EXTENSIONS given in this course. It is your responsibility to plan your course of study so that even in the event of unforeseen circumstances your assignment can be delivered by the due date. The only valid excuse for a late or non-submission of an assignment is a family or medical emergency. You must have documented proof of the emergency and contact the Course Coordinator by email. Note that computer problems are not valid excuses. Failure to plan is also not a legitimate reason.
