Planned timetable:
This module examines major organisational theories, surveys key topics in this area, and explores organisational forms that have emerged in recent times. The study of organisations has become a major topic of study, drawing on disciplines such as economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and history. The interdisciplinary nature of organisation studies has produced a wide variety of perspectives. These perspectives are based on different assumptions, and place strong emphasis on certain aspects of the organisation at the expense of others. When brought together, however, they yield a rich multifaceted picture of power socioeconomic systems that shape our lives.
