MHRE330D Project: Corporate Culture
Анотация:
Organisations are operating in a complex environment of constant change. The external demands placed upon them to change and improve are considerable. The key elements of leadership, vision and mission and their relationships to the development of a unique organisational culture are essential ingredients for organisational effectiveness, excellence and continuous improvement. This course focuses upon the better understanding of the different forces that influence the culture of an organisation. Different perspectives and dimensions of culture are introduced in order to provide an understanding of cultural driving forces in organizations. Leadership styles and behaviour are analysed with the help of both classic and modern theories on leadership and culture. The interplay between leadership and culture is studied as well in relation with organisational change.
The course aims at:
• To gain an in-depth understanding of organisational culture, research and practice, giving the insights to make recommendations for change.
• To gain experience with a culture assessment and development tools.
• To apply the acquired knowledge of culture in specific situations.
