Course Overview:
This course is designed as the first of two courses dealing with the interface between the individual and work._ Traditionally, these areas were taught as three courses--Principles of Management, Organizational Behavior, and Human Resources._ The current two course sequence recognizes that an organizational member is part of an interlocking set of systems which can be understood by looking at different Alevels of analysis.@_ At the individual level of analysis which is the focus of MGMT 300, organizational members can be understood in terms of such factors as perceptions, motivation, and talents._ At the work group and organizational levels of analysis (the focus of MGMT 301) issues of communication, team building, conflict, power, and organizational development can be understood. Thus, MGMT 300 provides a micro perspective of organization and behavior, while MGMT 301 will provide a macro perspective.
