Please contact the Southern Cross Business School to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

This unit introduces the fundamental streams of management theory in Australia and places them in a global and historical context. The function of managing and the role of managers are distinguished and examined in a capitalist market context. The existence and extent of alternative conceptions of managing and managers are introduced, together with the implications for managers and management of other organisational contexts. The contributions of several seminal management scholars to contemporary management theory are examined, underpinning the notion that management theory tends to follow an evolving fashion on which various fads are frequently superimposed. The nature of sound research and theory-building in management is explored.
