Content
This unit provides students with a critical understanding of the intellectual foundations of the study and practice of management in organisations. The unit offers the opportunity to apply and analyse solutions to realistic management problems under different conditions. This involves examining how managerial action impacts and is shaped by the environment, through a consideration of national and global contexts, ethics, social responsibility, and the management, motivation, and leadership of employees.

Learning resource
The texts and reading list for MMM132 can be found via the University Library.
Note: Select the relevant trimester reading list. Please note that a future teaching period's reading list may not be available until a month prior to the start of that teaching period so you may wish to use the relevant trimester's prior year reading list as a guide only.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
To fully engage with Deakin's learning experiences, students must be able to access and use internet-connected devices as outlined in computing requirements at Deakin.
To support student success at Deakin, we have a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) learning environment that acknowledges that students and educators bring with them the digital tools they regularly use to complete academic tasks. These tools stay with you beyond the classroom, helping you to keep learning, explore ideas more deeply, and connect with knowledge in ways that matter to you.
