Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Management of Organisations course also seeks to understand atypical forms of organisational phenomena. Alternative forms of organisations and unique individual circumstances have become more commonplace in recent years; however, theories about organisational behaviour (OB)—designed to apply to “typical” workplace behaviour and contexts—have not kept pace.
The emphasis in this course will be on critically evaluating existing OB theories as they relate to extreme forms of workplace behaviour (e.g., workaholism, pro- and antisocial behaviour) and contexts (e.g., poverty, military, hospital, and artist culture). Weekly topics include isolated and high-pressure work environments, passion work, and compliance and proactivity. In general, this course examines the central issues of organizational behaviour by applying primarily sociological and social psychological theories and methods.The course aims to balance theory and practical application by focusing on theories that can be applied to organisational problems. It also aims to balance knowledge and skills through exercises that help develop skills such as leadership, decision-making, enhancing influence and team working. We will examine human processes, the individual in the organisation, group dynamics and influencing others, and organisational processes and practices.Programme Structure
