BSMAN6902 Power, Politics and Leadership
This course explores the psychology of leadership in dynamic political, community and workplace environments. It examines the nature of power, authority and influence inherent in role of leader and various perspectives on political behaviour in organisations. Insights into leader personality, motivation and behaviour are critically examined in relation to communication strategies and decision-making processes that can empower or disengage others as leaders and team members. 'Hidden' differences such as gender and cultural issues in the use of power and influence are also investigated. Students will demonstrate understanding and expert judgement, research of complex concepts and theories, and cognitive, creative, technical and communication skills to present this information to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
