The Organizational Theory course explores the evolution and application of organisational frameworks and models, providing students with a deep understanding of the structures and dynamics that shape modern organisations. The course begins by examining classical theories, such as scientific management and bureaucracy, then transitions into human relations, behavioural theories, and modern approaches to organisational design and structure. By engaging with a variety of case studies, students will gain practical insights into the challenges of managing and leading organisations in a dynamic global business landscape. The course also encourages students to critically assess the relevance and application of traditional organisational theories in contemporary business contexts, enabling them to design effective organisational systems that foster collaboration, innovation, and high performance.
