Synopsis

Management   and   leadership  are  critical   challenges   for   any
organisation.  The contemporary environment of business demands  that
managers  are  effective  leaders  also.   This  unit  examines   the
contemporary  nature of management, and then examines  organisational
leadership  in detail.  The emerging operationalisation of  the  'new
leadership'  is  a particular concentration of this  unit.   Students
will  examine  the concept of leadership as well as its manifestation
in  organisations.  This unit has a practical focus.  Management  and
Leadership  is  a  valuable elective unit, as well  as  being  a  key
component of the Strategic H R M major.  Students should have had  at
least  3  years  full-time work experience before they  attempt  this
unit.
