ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to train students with theories and applications dealing with motivation, decision-making, team dynamics, negotiation, leadership and organizational culture. Development of analytical skills and critical thinking are important for the course. The course exposes students to advanced behavioral science theories and applications in management. Organizational behavior (OB) is an interdisciplinary field drawing from numerous disciplines including psychology, sociology, economics, organization theory, statistics, and many others. After an overview of OB and how to assess the value-added of "soft" management interventions, topics will include work motivation, work attitudes, newcomer socialization, "natural" and nominal work teams, leadership, decision making, and management of change.
