Organisation Strategy and Culture

High performing and sustainable organisations engage in and depend on a combination of strategic planning and management and aligning these. This has always generated challenges in practice for private, public and 3rd sector organisations, in some common and some distinct ways. It is even more of a challenge in an era of global change and expectations around achieving missions around economic, social and environmental goals.

The Organisation Strategy and Culture module (BUSN09080) will study theories and models of how both strategy and culture, and their integration, can be understood and managed. It will address practice, as a set of common organisational challenges in practice emerge from the integrated management of strategy and culture. These include addressing social, economic and environmental missions; challenges of strategic and cultural leadership, the design of work and workplaces, and managing strategic and culturally effective organisational communication in practice. This module will cover strategy and culture in theory and the integrated management of these through leadership, workplace design, communication and internationalisation contexts.

On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:

Describe and use theories and models of strategy and culture, and their integration for alignment, in organisations

Identify and analyse common organisational challenges in practice which are associated with the integrated management and alignment of strategy and culture

Critically evaluate and propose solutions for real world cases of contemporary integrated strategy and culture management which address economic, social and environmental missions

This is an SCQF Level 9 module and upon successful completion, participants will be awarded 20 credits.
