MANAGEMT 7128OL - Managing People and Organisations

Online - Online Teaching 5 - 2021

Organisation amplifies the leadership intent. Orchestrating the interaction between individuals, sections, organisational structures and culture to align with the organisation strategy and achieve its purpose, requires a detailed understanding of the system. In addition to direct influence, a leader needs to know how to use and influence the organisation?s culture and processes, to manage its interdependencies and develop its people. In our dynamic work-world mobilising staff knowledge and passion, and supporting the learning needed to adjust to changes, is critical to remaining viable. Effective administrative structures, policies and processes can amplify the leader?s intent, or block initiative. In this course we will examine the key influences and perspectives on the management of organisations, and tools to enhance ethical decision-making. The focus is primarily on human issues that affect and are dealt with by managers day-to-day. The ability to analyse and to think clearly and independently about these issues is the basis of effective management action. Throughout the course there is an emphasis on thinking about and asking important questions, rather than fixing on 'right' answers.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
