Learning objectives

The main objective of the course is to foster understanding of issues relating to the structure and dynamics of organisations. The specific objectives are to develop: a) knowledge and understanding relating to organisations and their functioning through the study of organisational models, structures and variables (attention will be paid to work organisation, entrepreneurship and organisational development processes in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises); b) the ability to identify organisational structures and variables, to use appropriate languages in the approach to business and human resources. At the end of the course the student should be able to read organisational phenomena in SMEs and recognise the variables on which to intervene for business growth.
