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 HRM major. Students should  have  had  at
least 3 years full-time work experience before they attempt this unit.
