|
This course prepares students for careers as effective managers
by exploring the key practical and conceptual tasks and challenges
facing knowledge workers and knowledge work. These challenges
include organizing work as a series of diverse and challenging
projects; managing project portfolios; negotiating work tasks with
experts, professionals, and knowledge workers; maintaining
integration in very diverse workplaces; and grappling with
uncertainty and change. The course stresses that in such contexts,
the strategic, organisational and cultural aspects of management
practice always intersect and overlap. At the same time, the course
explores several theories that link these dynamics together.
The course further pursues the notion that management practices
rooted in industrial regimes of production increasingly have been
superseded in many instances by new management practices that
foreground leadership, culture and the regulation of identity. The
course therefore includes discussion of those aspects of
organisational life that are often marginalised in standard texts,
including the politics and complexities of managerial
decision-making, the roles played by ordinary human interaction,
and relationships in organizational settings.
