Due to global competition, it is becoming necessary for the employees to become more flexible to cope
with rapid changes. It is becoming challenging for the managers to use Organizational Behaviour
concepts. Organizations are no longer constrained by national borders. This shows that the world has
become a global village. Organizational Behaviour (OB) is a study involving the impact of individuals,
group and structure or behaviour within the organization. This study is useful for the effective working
of an organization. It is a study of what people do within an organization and how their behaviour
affects the performance of an organization.
Organizational Behaviour introduces the students to a comprehensive set of concepts and theories, it
has to deal with a lot of commonly accepted ‘facts’ about human behaviour and organizations .
Organization Behaviour does offer challenges and opportunities for managers since it focuses on ways
and means to improve productivity, minimize absenteeism, increase employee job satisfaction, etc.
Organization Behaviour can offer managers guidance in creating an ethical work climate. This is
because organizational behaviour cam improve prediction of behaviour.

4.3 TEAM PRESENTATION ( 5 Marks):
This course provides for avenues for personal improvement through team presentation for course related topics.
Each team comprises of 6 students and will presents the chosen topic. The presentation will be of 12 minutes
duration followed by 3 minutes for query handling. Individual teams will submit the report for presentation 1
week in advance. We propose to conduct the team presentations with following titles:
1) OB considers three levels of analysis—the individual, the group, and the organization—which, combined, help us
understand behavior in organizations. Each level has different challenges. Explore the challenges that organizations
have faced during COVID 19 at each level of analysis. Enrich your presentation with examples, facts and figures from
newspaper articles, magazines, social media sites etc-
2) Critically examine any 5 employee behavioral trends that will reshape the work culture and working pattern.
3) The advertising world is inundated with different types of stereotypes, ranging from gender and race to socioeconomic
roles. “Stereotypes in advertising are a sensitive subject, and they can deliver positive or negative results for the
advertiser”. Critically analyze this statement with the help of various advertisements highlighting stereotypes.
5) Critcially analyze and discuss the Personality traits of 10 successful people in the world of 21st Century
6) “Show me the money!” A large number of managers assume that money is the primary motivator for most employees.
However, the research with each new generation shows that while money is not always strongest motivator when a
person is on the job. Buy using the internet and your searching skills, find 10 creative non cash rewards and the
companies that are using as part of their rewards strategy. Also give your view points on the effectiveness of each
strategy. (You can use examples, cases, news articles etc to present your idea)
7) Changing Landscape of leadership (leadership for millennials, post pandemic leadership, role of EQ/IQ/AQ/SQ, etc)
10) Organizational Culture: A key ingredient for employer branding (Examples of five companies)

5.0 COURSE CONDUCT POLICY
Academic Honesty
Academic Dishonesty is defined as an intentional act of deception in which a student seeks to claim credit for the
work or effort of another person or uses unauthorised materials or fabricated information in any academic work.
19
Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding
principle of academic integrity is that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be
that student’s own work for individual assignments, and the group’s own work for group assignments/ projects.
Students are guilty of academic dishonesty if they:
Use or obtain unauthorised materials or assistance in any academic work; i.e. cheating.
Falsify or invent any information regarded as cheating by the instructor; i.e. fabrication.
Give unauthorised assistance to other students, i.e. assisting in dishonesty.
Represent the work of others as their own; i.e. plagiarism.
Modify, without instructor approval, an examination paper, record or report for the purpose of
obtaining additional credit; i.e. tampering.
The penalty for academic dishonesty is severe. Any student guilty of academic dishonesty may be subject to
receive a failing grade for the assignment, quiz, or class participation exercise as deemed appropriate by the
instructor. All cases regarding use of unfair means in the Mid Term and End Term examination shall be placed
before the Examination Committee for decision and recommending penalties, if any, subject to final decision
taken by the Director. All such cases will be routed through the Controller of Examinations to the Director’s
office (Refer Policies on “Use of Unfair means in Examination).
