- relevant theories, concepts and models within the field of
organisational theory and organisational behavior,
- perspectives and models related to the design of organisational
structures,
- theoretical and practical knowledge about how organisations
communicate internally and with the external environment, and how
they organise themselves in order to communicate more effectively
(as well as for other organisational purposes), and
- the ability to critically reflect on the theories, concepts and
models and their relevance in describing, analysing and evaluating
issues of organisation and corporate communication in relation to
companies and organisations.
The course focuses on two main fields:
- Organisational theory
- Corporate communication

case presentations and mini-assignments with focus on application
