• Identify and use relevant concepts and theoretical perspectives from the literature to explain challenges of organizing for innovation and systems design
• Identify and use relevant concepts and theoretical perspectives from the literature to identify and explain issues concerning aspects of the case
• Use the case to discuss fundamental assumptions, possibilities, and limitations of concepts and theoretical perspectives from the literature
• Critically assess the usefulness and limitations of alternative concepts and theoretical perspectives and compare their relevance to the case.

The course aims to provide students with analytical tools
and competencies that will allow them to systematically
examine the interrelated problems of transformation of
work practices, organizational change, and information
systems design under conditions of uncertainty. Incomplete
knowledge of alternatives and consequences is assumed to
be a prevailing condition.
 

Lectures develop the core analytical themes of organization, innovation, and systems design. Further, students will be doing case study exercises in actual organizations as a way to develop an understanding

of the analytical issues involved. Each group prepares and makes a presentation of the findings from the ocase. At the end of the course students will develop a Quarter Paper from the case. Students are encouraged to use PowerPoint or overheads to support their presentation. In addition all groups are expected to be well prepared and to be active in facilitating discussion.
