The objective of the course is to learn about the conditions of an industry and its different stakeholders. There are many parties involved in setting the price, producing the material or the service needed.
There are mainly three kinds of organisations, public, private and the third sector. They are different but have many things in common.
The resources of an organisation are vital. In the course the kind of resources available will be analysed and how they can be improved, e.g. employee, employer, economic, ecological, time, etc.
The course will also discuss how tripartite negotiations between employee, employer and state will evolve and why it is important.
