B in Organisational Behaviour
Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 17th Apr, 2008
Yeah! I managed to get a B in Organisational Behaviour. I would have preferred to get a better grade, but seeing how I managed to read the book, study and revise for the exam in just two months, I don’t think it was too bad an effort. The great thing is that I feel that [...]

Posted by: Owen on Monday, 10th Mar, 2008
Another interesting snippet from my Organisational Behaviour text. These are the sources of social power within an organisation:

Anyway, I’ve pretty much cleared myself for the next 2 weeks to get some [...]

Exam Over. Time for a Holiday.
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 7th Dec, 2007
So, the Project Management exam is over! It wasn’t all that bad, though I don’t feel as if I’ve aced it. But, as long as I manage to get a decent grade, I’ll be happy. Next topic to turn my sights on is Organisational Behaviour. I’m hoping to do this in March/April, so I’d better [...]
