Management and Organisational Behaviour

By: Sir Mirza Sardar Hussain
The Objective:
The main objective of this course was to make us accounting and finance
students realize the importance of management and the behaviour there is in
any organization.
The topics that we covered in Management were related to leadership ideas of
how it is because of the leadership skills that a CEO possesses will affect the
overall business, especially during its hard times.
The importance of planning before carrying out a business and strategy
formulation and implementation all deal with theories related to management.
In class we were often given examples of different organizations that were
having the same problems and how they overcame, such as K-Electric.
The theories that were taught in class such as the MARS model, management
by objective gave us a clear understanding how organizations get a vote of
confidence from their employees in order to make their business more
profitable.
Moving on to the second part of the course which was the organizational
behaviour part we learnt that organizations also have a psychological part
towards them. There are values, codes and ethics that need to be followed by
any organization to remain successful. Motivation to succeed and employee
involvement in each decision should be there.
Class experience and environment:
Throughout the semester in fact since the very first class we have always been
motivated to participate in class, be it through class presentations, giving
examples to theories which apply to organisations in Pakistan or relating
examples to IBA itself. It was learning made easy. We were not just bound to
books to enhance our learning but we also had the permission to use the

internet on our gadgets to straightaway give examples of theories that are

being explained in the class.
In the remaining few sessions there were class presentations, students
searched over the internet articles, blogs that were related to our course. With
each passing presentations Sir would highlight the importance of any point
that is related to our culture and businesses in Pakistan.
