Organizational Behaviour

This course provides an overview of organizations and management from the behavioural sciences perspective. The course explores factors shaping individual, group, organizational and cultural dynamics, as they pertain to administration and management in organizations. Students will apply these concepts and discuss the various perspectives to better enable them to examine their own behaviour and beliefs about managerial behaviour and to contrast and integrate these ideas with the theories and observations of others.
