The People, Work and Organisations course explores a range of ideas that provide insight into how individuals behave at work and enable managers to apply concepts to real-life organisational issues.

All throughout the course, students are encouraged to think critically on their managerial role and reflect on what occurs in the workplace in relation to relevant theories.
