Overview
Organisation Behaviour is a foundation course to understand
behaviour of people in Organisations. It deals with people and their
behaviour from three perspectives: as an individual, as a team
member and from the perspective of the organisation and the
environment it exists in. It incorporates the application of principles
of Psychology, Sociology, Social Psychology and Anthropology to
understand and mould the behaviour of people in organisations. The
course will cover aspects related to Motivation, Perception and
Leadership, Stress, Power & Politics, Teams and Groups etc.
