BUSM3123 Organisational Theory and Design Credit Point: 12 This course aims to address a number of themes currently seen as being important in modern management theory and practice. A major theme that runs throughout the literature and consequently throughout this course is the management of difference . This, on its own, sums up modern management today. This approach is very different from earlier management theorist who promoted a one best way approach to organizing and management. The course will critically examine mainstream management theory from its earliest conception to the present day, which includes alternative approaches to organisational theory and design. To participate, students will be expected to take the theory to the streets to locate and identify practical examples of how and why specific Organisation and management theories are applied. They will then need to report back on their findings. Students will also need to consider current theory in relation to possible future developments. For example, it is likely that utility organisations such as water supply and welfare Organisations such as age care will become strategically important in Australia. How will organisations in these sectors be structured? There are also major economic developments in South East Asia, and some regard will be given to the impact of organisation theory and design in these regions.

Introduction
The Department of Industrial Engineerings Graduate Programs at Kasetsart University are diverse, challenging and highly competitive. The International Graduate Program in Industrial Engineering (IGP-IE) provides superior educational opportunities to qualified students seeking strengths in both research and practical applications. The IGP-IE combines hands-on educational philosophy in conjunction with a system approach to instruction and advices for graduate students. Industrial Engineering is regarded as one of the most important disciplines in competitive business. It deals with design, development, implementation, and utilization of integrated systems of people and their working environment. To do so in a successful manner, industrial engineers must possess a great deal of knowledge in the mathematical, physical, social, and engineering sciences. Pursuing graduate-level education at the IGP-IE will add competitive edge to a student from the point of view of theoretical and technical knowledge, and English-communication skills. Students capabilities on up-todate techniques for designing and managing industrial systems and applications of computer-software technology will be greatly enhanced. The IGP-IE has developed collaboration with well-known universities in the United States of America (Case Western Reserve University, Utah State University and Texas Tech University) and Finland (University of Vassa) including exchanging of faculty and students, and credit transfers. Presently, four academic programs are being offered: 1. Master of Engineering in Maintenance Engineering 2. Master of Engineering in Industrial Engineering 3.
