Overview

This Organisational Behaviour programme offered by London Business School prepares scholars to investigate how individuals, teams, and organisations function within organisational settings. Through intensive theoretical and methodological training, candidates develop the knowledge and research skills needed to examine behaviour, relationships, decision-making processes, and organisational systems while contributing original insights to the field of organisational behaviour.

Key Facts

Students conduct empirical research under the guidance of internationally recognised faculty and engage with both micro- and macro-level perspectives on organisational life. Drawing extensively on theories from psychology and sociology, the programme explores behavioural, social, cultural, and institutional factors that influence organisations. Research is supported by specialised behavioural research facilities and aims to generate knowledge with both scholarly significance and managerial relevance.
