This course focuses on human behavior in an organizational context. Topics include individual processes, interpersonal relations, cross-cultural dynamics, team structure and processes, organizational structure and design, and organizational influences on behavior. With particular attention given to diversity in the workplace, the course increases students' awareness of and competence in working with people different from themselves. The course also discusses how technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence, reshape these processes. Since the development of managerial skills is best supported when students are given the opportunity to understand and practice those skills, this course emphasizes both theory and student experiences. A variety of teaching/learning approaches will be used in class, including self-assessment instruments, experiential exercises, role-plays, and class discussions.
