Continuity & Change Course In this Course, we consider change & transition & the reasons for this process of change, particularly as it affects the organisations & institutions of our society. If we were somehow transported in time back to the mid-nineteenth century, we know that many things would be unfamiliar, strange or unusual. While nineteenth-century Britain would be unmistakably " British", many things such as transport, patterns of behaviour & other structures & processes would be virtually unrecognisable. Similarly, if we were projected into the twenty-third century, many of the current institutions, structures & processes with which we are familiar would have changed beyond all recognition or have ceased to exist altogether. When you have completed this course, you should be able to understand why change occurs in a society & to illustrate the process of change by examples from trade unions & work organisations. You should also be able to appreciate the major change processes affecting organisations & society as well as being able to identify & explain "post-industrialism" & "post-modernism" as central concepts of change.   By the end of the course, you should be able to: define change. identify significant features of two theories of social change
- social evolutionism & historical materialism. discuss & give examples of the influence upon social change of the physical environment, political organisation & cultural factors. describe the origins & implications of the "agency" & "structure" approaches of social change. indicate the limitations of both "agency" & "structure" approaches to social change & illustrate how the two can be seen as complementary. explain what we mean by a social movement & give examples of different types. discuss the features, development & dynamics of social movements & their relation to change with reference to the work of Smelser & Touraine. identify the features & dynamics of post-industrialism & discuss what evidence there is of change towards post-industrialism in current British society. identify some common features shown by post-Fordist manufacturing & marketing developments, & the cultural ideas & philosophy of post-modernism.

Contracts of Employment, Recruitment & Selection Course In organisations today, we might consider the proposition that traditional contracts of employment were gradually being replaced by contracts for performance. Despite this change of emphasis, all those who are employed by another party have a contract of employment. This is a legal requirement & it sets out the basic rights & obligations of both the employer & the employee. In this course, we review the increasing variety of contractual arrangements before examining the practice of recruitment (casting the net to find the people you need) & selection (deciding between alternative candidates) as well as doing some practical work on selection interviewing. ...
