Course Description -

This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the field of Organisation
Behaviour (OB), which is essentially a study of what people think, feel, and do in and around
organisations. This is an opportunity for students to explore a variety of OB theories, concepts
and research findings that will help them to understand, predict, and influence behaviour in
organisational settings. Managing people is both a skill and an art. The course will challenge
students to learn new ways of thinking about themselves as individuals, as members of small
teams and as members of large organizations.
