BMGT30450 Groups and Teams

Academic Year 2023/2024

Organizations increasingly use teams to get work done at all levels, but often teams are not managed effectively. This module examines the research and experience of group work to establish: when teams are the right choice (and when they are not), how to be an effective team member and leader, and how to diagnose and solve common team problems. As such, this course will introduce you to the important theories, concepts and frameworks that can be used to successfully identify the threats and opportunities teams face and improve team outcomes. It will also provide opportunities for you to design effective teams. Throughout the term, this module will be comprised of interactive discussions and group work in order to highlight key applications of team research.
