Course Description An organization is a collection of people working interdependently to achieve common goals. Thus management is mainly a people-oriented process and understanding organizational behavior is essential for effectively managing or working in any organization. Management as a process involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Organizational behavior involves learning how people think, feel, and behave, individually and as part of a group. To be successful, managers must not only understand why people behave the way they do in organizations but they must also be able to apply their understanding in the practical, complex dynamics of the workplace. This course exposes students to the theories, functions, and processes of management as well as enlightening students on advanced behavioral science theories and applications in management. Organizational behavior (OB) draws understanding from numerous disciplines including psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

Course Objectives At the end of the course students should be able: o To understand fundamental concepts and principles of management, including the basic roles, skills, and functions of management; o To assess theoretical aspects and the practice of management and weigh the relevance of organizational behavior in management practice. o To evaluate managerial implications of current OB theory and research. o To demonstrate analytical and problem-solving skills in the application of organizational behaviour knowledge to work-related situations. o To develop leadership qualities essential for achieving goals of an organization and acquire scientific decision-making skills, especially relating to the human element in an organization.
