(M) Mandatory subjects for Marketing major
Organisation Behaviour (OB)/Human Resource
Management
The subjects in this integrated area broadly cover many
aspects of organisations and the human behaviour and
processes which occur within those settings.
As a sequence of study, it aims to:
prepare students for a range of management roles in
business;
develop a strong understanding of organisation theory
and structures, the behaviour of groups, the individuals
who comprise those groups and the dynamic
interrelationships among all these parts and aspects;
develop students' capacity to reflect upon and
understand their own and others' behaviour;
develop communication and personal competence so
that students are better equipped to fill the
organisational roles which require interpersonal skills.
The organisation behaviour study area can be taken as a
vocational preparation for human resource management
(HRM), leading to associate membership of the Australian
Human Resources Institute (course accredited by AHRI).
To gain such eligibility, students would need to take all
eight units offered in the OB/HRM area, in appropriate
sequences and to additionally include in their degree two
further specified units.
Many students will wish to take OB studies without a
career in HRM in mind. Such a major would provide
excellent insight into human behaviour in organisations
and the management of people, and would combine well
with any other vocational major. All business professionals
ultimately work in or with organisations and with people.
- -
A large proportion of the course material in these major
streams is taught in an experiential manner which requires
active involvement by students, structured reflection, linkage
with 'outside' experiences, and thinking through application
issues.
In each subject, students will have time to work on the
development of self-directed and interdependent learning
skills.
