企業の中での組織論です。組織構造や文化的な問題について学びます。

Organisational Behaviour (OB) is a multi‐disciplinary field that uses insights from psychology, anthropology, philosophy and sociology to study human behaviour in organisational settings.

(9) MGSM860 Strategic Management
Lecturer: Randal Tame
Strategic Management is the capstone unit that builds on MGSM850 and disciplines studied in other MGSM units. The purpose of this unit is to help you develop your own viewpoint on formulating and implementing corporate strategy and on the roles and tasks of corporate leaders. You will learn how to think and act as a leader, and as an adviser, to help achieve and maintain the competitive advantage of an organisation.
(10) MGSM880 Foundations of Management Thought
Lecturer: Robert Spillane
This unit surveys the evolution of Western thought from major philosophical perspectives (from Homer to Sartre) and their relevance for management. What is important about a philosophical perspective is not what it explains, but what it assumes. Three assumptions ground the unit:
a) managing is essentially a philosophical activity because human existence is interpreted through diverse perspectives;
b) management training needs to be combined with management education. To train is to drill and subordinate individuals to routines, standards and practices. To educate is to liberate a person’s intellectual, moral and aesthetic powers.
c) managers and leaders need to have the critical skills to debate, reflect, and engage in dialogue across different functional disciplines, stakeholders and cultures in organisational contexts.
ちなみに、紹介した講義の順番には意味があり（最後の哲学を除いて）、私がこの順番で勉強することをお勧めするというものです。詳しくは後のページで紹介したいと思いますが一応参考まで。

The unit is an introduction to some fundamental market design and structure ideas. At the end of the unit, students should be able to understand (1) how the international markets for various securities including foreign exchange, swaps, bonds and equities are organised, (2) how trading is conducted in these markets and how these transactions are cleared, (3) how the markets are regulated, if they are supervised and what risks different counterparties face in these markets.

MGSM884 Negotiation; Theory and Practice
「交渉」をする際の本来あるべき考え方や戦略、そして実践方法をトレーニングを含めて勉強します。日本人の考える交渉と、アメリカやオーストラリアでの交渉は、日本のものとそもそも目的や方法論がかなり異なっているためとても役立ちます。
Lecturer: Dr Andrew Heys
Negotiation involves influencing how people think, perceive, feel and behave. We apply these skills in every interaction, whether in the business environment, with our family, or in the world of international politics. The path to improving our negotiation performance involves adopting a mindset conducive for negotiations, learning theories, and developing skill in executing the right behaviour at the right time. This subject will increase students’ awareness of the complex dynamics in human interaction and decision-making. The subject will draw on multiple disciplines in order to provide students with key theories and frameworks for managing that complexity in a wide range of different contexts. Students will also build practical skill in preparing for, conducting, and reviewing negotiations.
