GTUM62EKM Organisational Behaviour and HRM

Learning outcome 1: Apply an understanding of theoretical concepts of organisation structure and behaviour, and the practice of organising as studied in this course.

Question 1 Critically analyse the organisational choices that Dell has made using two of the four main analytical models that are presented in this Module. Which approach do you think is more appropriate and why?

Question 2 What are the main organisational challenges which Dell faces in order to ‘conduct business the Dell Way?' What are the implications for line managers and supervisors of creating a corporate culture based on the Dell Way?

Question 3 Dell is using technologically sophisticated methods to collect ‘soft' data about its performance from both customers (Direct2Dell) and staff (Tell Dell). Evaluate these initiatives, and discuss the value of such information in relation to ‘hard' data (such as sales figures, share price etc.) as a management tool.

Question 4 Critically review the concept of postmodernism as a means of understanding the nature of highly diverse (in terms of geography, technology, organisation, technical specialisation and culture) organisations such as Dell.
