Module Rationale
Provide a rationale for the introduction of the module and specify for which programme(s) of study the module
is designed and whether it will be offered as a core, compulsory or option module. If the programme(s)
concerned comprise of a number of dedicated pathways / routes the status of the module on each should also
be made clear.
This is a compulsory module for the Master of Public Administration (MPA) programme. Understanding organisational behaviour
and process within public sector organisations, understanding organisational behaviour within those for-profit and non-profit
organisations which provide public services, and understanding organisational behaviour in regulated organisations, and
understanding inter-organisational relations of competition, collaboration, coordination and integration are all fundamental to
all masters' level education in public administration and public management.
As part of our strategy for preserving the distinctiveness of the students' experience on the MPA, this module will be reserved for
the MPA only and will not be available as an elective module for other programmes.
