21718 Organisation Analysis and Design

This subject employs an organisation theory and research to analyse the central features of contemporary organisations, namely their structure, culture, people and processes of power. Key issues of organisational restructuring and change, culture change and management, the management of people and personal identity, and political and power relations are analysed. These four areas of organisations are used to diagnose organisational problems, and skills are developed for problem solving. The subject also develops key managerial skills in organisation analysis and design by encouraging critical thinking and reflexive practice; synthesising knowledge between organisation theory and management practice.
