About this Unit
This online unit extends the examination of the environments in which business organisations operate which was introduced in Business organisations and their environment A. The unit focuses initially on three sets of debates that are current in the world of business - globalisation, corporate social responsibility and regulation. Students are then asked to consider what organisations might look like in the future. Are newer organisational forms, such as open-source networks and social enterprises, just a transient phase or the start of a revolution in the operation of business? What are the implications of this for the world of work? Each topic will be approached through case study material and theoretical debates and students will work collaboratively and individually to build skills and critical understanding.
