Description

Organisations are the basic building blocks of economy and society. They furnish the context in which human resources are employed and developed. Organising is a set of processes that involve choices concerning the attributes of an organisation. In this course, we study the options available to managers with respect to organisational structures, procedures, integration, and control. The result of good choices is an organisational design that is adaptable and innovative, and, therefore, a source of competitive advantage.
