Organisation Theory and Organisational Development: guidelines for students of full-time and part-time forms of education

Abstract

The guidelines are designed for students studying the discipline "Organisation Theory and Organisational Development". They include an introduction, the purpose and tasks of the discipline, instructional and methodological materials, lessons overview, questions for preparing for seminar classes, problematic tasks for self study, tasks for practical work of students, means for conducting midterm and final tests (comprehensive tests for checking knowledge of the discipline, questions for conducting midterm tests, questions for conducting the final test), the final assessment criteria, as well as literature and supplements. They give students the basics about mechanisms and principles of the functioning of organisations and provide students with constructive knowledge in the form of certain methods and techniques for finding solutions to specific organisational tasks and improving organisational structure. These guidelines are for full-time and part-time students (majoring in "International Economic Relations"), and scientific and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions.
