ORGB 326 focuses primarily on structural aspects of organizations, although it also reflects on the relationship between structure and behaviour. The student should come to an understanding of the ways in which managers seek to promote organizational effectiveness through internal structures and processes.
The student will analyse how organizations are structured within the context of the larger social, political, and economic environment; why systems of control and coordination vary across organizations and change over time; and how organizational theory may contribute towards improving the design and management of organizations.
To receive credit for ORGB 326, students must achieve a course composite grade of at least a "D" (50 percent) and a grade of at least 50 percent on the final examination. The weighting of the composite grade is as follows:
Assignment 1 | Assignment 2 | Assignment 3 | Final Exam | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
15% | 15% | 20% | 50% | 100% |
