Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

Learn to understand both the "hard" and the "soft" part of Performance Management. We use an interdisciplinary analysis framework that includes economics, psychology and sociology. An analysis framework that enables you to think together and develop different parts of an organization's goal management, evaluation practices and reward strategies.

 

You’ll learn what the new ideas about performance management contain, and how the balances between performance and development, the forward-looking and backward-looking and the quantitative and qualitative become crucial design choices for value creation in the individual organization.

Description of the teaching methods
The subject combines a number of pedagogical tools. In addition to dialogue-based lectures, there will be cases and presentations from the students, where we (teachers and students) jointly discuss possible solutions to the students' practical problems.
