What it covers

Motivation theoryGroup dynamicsLeadership modelsOrganisational cultureChange management

Studying it by distance

Very readable alone. Discussion adds a lot, so it is one of the subjects where a live cohort is worth something.

How it is assessed

Written examination plus a case analysis or assignment in most programmes.

Our view. Theory-heavy and easy to dismiss. It becomes useful the moment you manage people.

Your online MBA institute. We teach the curriculum free and in full, and we run our own online MBA with IICT and IIPM — an autonomous institute award, not a university degree. Everything else on this site describes programmes we do not run, and our own is kept out of those rankings. How that works
