The first module discussed the role of management in a contemporary organization. The
given module, essentially explores the responsibilities, roles and the functions which an efficient
manager should be possessing in the organization so that the firm can perform well in the future

changed in the past and how the role of management has changed considerably. After the past
has been covered, with a peek into the future, the module then be discussed the topic related
Organizational Behaviour. Managing Organizational behavior forms an essential role of a
manager as it assists in understanding the behavior of people in the workplace. If a manager
wants to be successful, they must possess the essential knowledge of the ways to monitor
organizational behavior in the organization (Wilson & Fiona, 2018). The model is divided into
two parts and this second part shifts the focus towards motivation and the concept of influence.
It lies the duty of the manager to be able to understand the role of these concepts so that they are

Capozza, 2016). There are various theories available in motivation and the manager needs to
make use of them to achieve long term organizational success.
The given topics being discussed in the given module, hold creative importance in my
life as I pursue to become a successful manager in the long run of the business organization.
Hence an understanding of these topics would contribute towards my performance in future. I
have read various books and journals on the given topics and have witnesses various case studies
with real life examples as to how understanding the behaviour of the people and motivating them
essentially would contribute to the welfare of the company at large. Through this coursework, I
was able to strengthen my knowledge in the given areas in a proper manner which would make
be better at my performance in the corporate world.
So far, I have been able to learn all essential topics being discusses in the given module. I
have learnt various theories related to Organizational behavior and Motivation with practical
examples from real business. The knowledge being gathered by me will contribute effectively
towards my passion of being a successful business manager in the long term of the business
organization. I have gained specific communication and problem solving skills which would be
useful.

forms an essential part of the organization and if there exists a communication gap in the
organization it might lead to certain issues in the long run of the organization. Furthermore,
Change forms of an essential part of the organization as it assists in guiding the organization and
seeing to it that they adapt to the different needs of the external business environment (Kaplan,
LaPort, & Waller, 2013). The first part of the module is based on the way communication takes

place in an organization, and how it can be improved. It also highlights the concept of advanced
communication followed by conflicts and negotiations which would take place in any
organization (Hoffmann, 2013). The given topics are essentially critical as they assist in the
understanding of the way the hierarchy in the organization lies and how it can be improved.
Conflicts are an essential aspect of the organization and hence, there needs to be proper
negotiations to solve them as well.
The topic holds relevance to me as when I will be taking up on the corporate
responsibilities, I would be required to manage a clear communication structure in the firm. This
would involve handling conflicts as well and hence, I need to possess knowledge about these
issues (Castells, 2013). Although I have had substantial theoretical knowledge in this module
however, I was unable to find a practical example but after studying the module I can understand
the relevance of communication in the business context. I will be utilizing the knowledge in my
work as a manager in the future when I will be asked to manage a team.
Conclusion
Therefore, from the given report it could be determined that the Modules are they key
beginning to a proper coursework in management and discuss relevant topics related to
management. After studying these topics, I have been able to achieve a better understanding of
the concepts which will then assist me in practical application in my corporate endeavors.
