BUSN113 Managing People and Organisations

Anyone working in, or with, business will interact with organisational systems and the people within them. Understanding the characteristics of how people and organisations work, and are practically navigated, is an important part of any business practitioners’ role. This unit provides introductory information about these issues including basic management theory and practice, systems thinking and management, organisational structures, organisational communication, teams and leadership. It also introduces students to disciplines important in managing people in organisations, namely management and human resource management. The unit incorporates the values of social responsibility and stewardship.
The unit will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work towards an inclusive and sustainable global economy. Students will have the opportunity to apply fundamental management models and concepts to realistic organisational issues including applying international and indigenous perspectives. The aim of this unit is to provide students with a broad foundational base for those working with people and systems in organisations
