Course Objective

Organizations are complex environments. The purpose of this course is to increase our understanding of these complexities and to gain greater agility in finding proactive ways of meeting the challenges they present. The course is built around the two disciplines that specialize in studying organizations: organizational behavior and organizational theory. Getting initial insights into underlying principles and fundamental theories of organizing and organizational behaviour is the main objective. Broadly speaking, students should develop a sense of what falls under the domain of organizational behaviour and organizational theory.
