About the Course
Introduction
The module is a basic introduction to some of the key theories of management. It presupposes no prior knowledge of the topic by students. The course commences by introducing those theories that are employed in the management of individuals in organization’s and progresses to ultimately address those most relevant to an organizational level of analysis.
Since management and its many constituent theories have such an impact upon all of our lives, the course encourages students to critically reflect upon such theories and more especially about the practice of management. It is insufficient for students of management to merely “know” a theory. They need to understand the implications of its use in practice. Hence, critical thinking is an underlying “theme” of the module.
Desired learning outcomes
At the end of the module students should be able to:
Appreciate the ambiguity and complexity inherent in the practice (and theory) of management
Articulate some of the historical and contemporary issues and debates addressed by and faced by management
Describe, compare and contrast and, ultimately, evaluate the various theories and concepts of management to which you have been introduced e.g. leadership, teamwork, organisational culture, etc.
Understand the importance of critical thinking and to apply it to any theory and practice of management that you may subsequently encounter
