This subject will provide an introduction to basic individual and group processes, as they affect people in organisations. Major theories and models in key areas of organisational behaviour will be examined; including group dynamics, motivation, stress, communication, conflict, power, strategy, structure and change management. Tutorials will emphasise the application of theories, through the use of exercises and case studies

demonic subject. i'd rather drop out of uni if i had to retake this subject again

[Did it in summer 2019] It wasn’t as bad as some people make out, although I got a fairly decent group which helped. Some of the content was reasonably interesting and I can see how some of it applies to the real world. The subject is well organised too. However, if you don’t like essay writing (I don't!), you probably won’t love this subject.

Topics covered in the subject are relatable and applicable in daily life, as well as, improving our soft skills. For the exam, you just need to understand and memorise the theories and understand the cases.

Relevant to daily-life especially the micro-topics and will help you when working with other too.

You need a really good group mates. For exam, buy notes from Student VIP and you'll do great!

Don't take it if not core. Just an annoying subject in general. It was poorly structured and I disliked how the lecture slides were written.

[I did this in Summer 2018]. As a person who doesn’t read much, I’d say that this is the B-Com compulsory subject that involves the greatest amount of compulsory reading and writing, so be prepared for that especially if you’re like me. For the individual assignment, I found the skill building session really useful in helping me start off the assignment, so do make an effort to attend it. As for the group assignment, pay extra attention to the assessment criteria (I missed some out and had to do extra work nearing the due date). Do your very best in this (it’s 30%!), even if it means taking up most of the writing, editing, and proofreading tasks if you’re confident with your abilities. Overall, this is a very organised subject, and the things you learn are quite applicable to everyday life (especially for the micro part as it’s closely related to psychology)! :)

Very easy subject to understand, it covers a lot of materials / concepts but not in depth. Put extra effort in your team project, this helps your final grade. In cases where lecturers or tutors are unclear when explaining concepts, I find the book quite helpful in providing thorough explanation and breaking down ideas into simpler ones.

Not great, especially if you have an overly serious teacher or is assigned academically inept team members in the group assignment. unfortunately both happened to me, and not even doing alright on the exam could save my marks.
