This course prepares students to thrive in organizations that
need to adapt to a changing environment. Students will be
introduced to concepts, theories and illustrations which will help
them to become effective leaders and managers in these
organizations. To enable this, three fundamental issues will be
emphasized. First, the leadership and management of organizational
processes, in particular, organizational culture, organizational
change, decision making, knowledge management; power, conflict, and
control will be examined. Secondly, organizational design, in
particular the alignment of strategy, structure, and environment
will be analyzed. Thirdly, the relationship between organizational
design, management, and organizational performance will be
explained.

Each of the ten course concepts will

addition to presentations, interactive group exercises will be
carried out and various videos will be shown.
Preliminary Assignment: To help students get maximum value from ISUP courses, instructors provide a reading or a small number of readings to be read before the start of classes with a related task or tasks in the first two classes in order to 'jump-start' the learning process.
