• MN-2551 Social Aspects of Organisation

  Much academic work in business, management and organisation studies derives from sociological and social science understandings of the social and organisational world. This Level 5 module aims to make explicit how individuals, organisations, management and business can be understood through broader social scientific analysis, critically engaging with contemporary business and management issues. The module acts as an introduction to key approaches to understanding social aspects of organisation and does not emulate the content or form of traditional business modules. Consideration is given to classic and contemporary sociological approaches to research and organisation. The module acts as an introduction to key approaches to understanding social aspects of work and organisation. The sociological approach of this module challenges students to think about some assumptions that pervade business, economics and organisations as cultural practice and how these impact upon individuals and society. Core skills in relation to academic writing and academic thought will be developed which will provide solid foundations for critical engagement that are crucial for level 6 study.
