Critical Organisational Analysis
The module provides a comprehensive guide to Organisation Theory, and offers practical
guidance for the application of theoretical perspectives to organising practices. It offers an
introduction to main theoretical perspectives dominant in Organisation Theory, i.e. modern,
symbolic and contemporary perspectives. It highlights the implications of contrasting
theoretical perspectives in practice, and further explores the latest development in organising
practices. Through challenging conventional understanding of organisation and management,
the module enables you to critically approach ‘organisation’ as a field of theory and practice,
and to construct your own knowledge and understanding of ‘management’. It helps you to
situate yourself within this field as critical thinkers, and as capable and reflective practitioners.
As such the module contributes to your enhanced employability, and informed employment
decision making.
Dissertation
The dissertation module aims to equip you with the necessary intellectual and practical skills
for undertaking an individual student-led, ethical investigation into an applied business
(or the named degree) problem or issue. In addition, the dissertation aims to equip you with
key transferable, employability skills, including: time management, project management,
communication (written and verbal), negotiation, persuasion and influence, discovery,
initiative, creativity and innovation in problem-solving, and analysis.
