Subject outline
This subject exposes doctoral and honours students to cutting-edge scholarship in contemporary management and organisation theory across a range of different sub-disciplines, topic areas, competing perspectives and levels of analysis. You will be expected to develop advanced theoretical understanding of substantive domains of management research; compare and contrast different perspectives; and analyse the applicability of competing theoretical approaches to conceptual and practitioner problems. A key aim of the subject is to cultivate high-level writing, speaking and critical thinking skills as applied to advanced management theory. To this end, you will be given opportunities to develop your abilities to critically evaluate research articles, and to integrate knowledge from existing research into the development of a theoretical position.
