This report provides an in-depth analysis of organisational behaviour, focusing on the case of Marks & Spencer (M&S). It begins by evaluating the impact of power, culture, and politics on team and individual performance, examining Handy's cultural dimensions and various types of organisational power. The report then delves into motivational theories, including Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory, and discusses how these theories, along with motivational tactics, can help achieve organisational goals. The analysis further explores the characteristics that define effective and ineffective teams within an organisational context. Finally, the report concludes by describing the philosophies and concepts of organisational behaviour in the context of business firms and specific business situations, offering recommendations for M&S to enhance employee performance and achieve its strategic objectives.
