Brief

This course provides an in-depth exploration of nuances involved in managing individual and group behaviors within various organizational settings. Designed to impart an understanding of both key theories and modern practices, it equips students with essential skills for effectively analyzing, understanding, and influencing human behavior in these environments. The course is structured around two inquiries. First, it delves into individual behaviors, focusing on strategies and methods to navigate and resolve challenges that hinder effective organization, coordination, and collaboration. Second, it explores ways to create environments conducive to growth, learning, and meaningful work. A significant emphasis is placed on the role of emerging technologies, such as AI, in reshaping organizational behaviors. This approach prepares students to operate proficiently as adept leaders in the digitally-oriented organizational realm.
