Synopsis

This   unit  encourages  business  leaders  to  challenge  their   own
assumptions about the nature of organisations. It exposes students  to
a  broad  range  of  theories and explanations  relating  to  the  way
organisations  function;  explanations  drawn  from  different  fields
including  applied  mechanics, biology and chaos  theory.  From  these
different  perspectives,  students  will  be  able  to  identify   the
significant  levers  of influence; those attributes  of  organisations
that  leaders  use  to manage change and continuity concurrently.  The
major  outcome of the unit will be the development of a framework  for
organisational analysis that leaders can use in their different roles.
