Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students will have a clear understanding of theoretical approaches to organisational change and insight into the relationship between organisations and the wider society as manifested in concepts of corporate citizenship.
Synopsis This subject will explore links between organisational values, culture and religion. Specifically, students will examine the nature of world views and fundamental values, and the ways in which these are rooted in general cultural patterns and religious perspectives. Attention will be paid to patterns of leadership, `followership' and management, to personnel management, and to the relationships between organisations and the wider society as manifested in concepts of corporate citizenship. The subject will consider patterns of organisational change as they are linked to cultural change and how religious traditions interact with such changes.
