The overall objective of this course is to increase your effectiveness as a team member and leader. By the end of the course you will:1. Have improved self-awareness of your behaviour in a group setting; 2. Have a conceptual understanding of the theory and research relating to teams and group dynamics, and be able to apply that understanding to a real work team;3. Have learned and practised a wide range of practical team membership/leadership skills such as managing conflict, decision-making, communication, and facilitating meetings.BCom Graduate ProfileMGMT306 addresses the BCom learning goals in the following manner: 1. Graduates can demonstrate advanced knowledge of team leadership and group dynamics informed by the broader context of commerce.The simulation and learning journals provide you with an opportunity to apply what you learn about group dynamics and apply team leadership skills.2. Graduates are able to use analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to address specific problems.The exercises we do in class sessions and the group simulation require the use of analytical skills in interpreting your own and others’ behaviour. The simulation we work on over the semester allow you to apply problem-solving skills to understand group dynamics.3. Graduates can understand issues from a range of ethical, global, and multicultural perspectives.We do not specifically address multiculturalism in this course, although we do look at individual differences and perception which is the foundation for understanding diversity and ethical issues.4. Graduates are able to communicate effectively both orally and in written form.Oral communication skill is required when doing group work and to complete the simulation effectively. All other assessment in this course is written. Oral communication is not formally assessed in this course but will be necessary in class sessions!
