In this Module we examine Organisational Development as a corporate response to change. Training as a link between employee and organisational development is also considered.
- Management in Organisations
The aims of this Module are to consider the organisation as a context for learning and to examine the theory and practice of management. The relationship between management and human resource management is also explored.
This module reflects on the similarities and differences between personnel and HRM and examines the nature of the employment relationship.
