These courses are offered by the Department of Corrmerce in the University of Western Aust~alia, and arc inten ed to introduce students to the general field of organisation and management. The change was aimed at moving away from the traditional teacher-s t udent basis of education towards a structure based on groups of students who had as thei r task t e education of themselves, using staff and other resources t o accomplish their task .
