Course Goal and Objectives
The course aims to teach students how organizations work based on organization and management scholarship.
The objectives are that students will: 1) develop an ability to identify, analyze, and discuss important aspects of work behavior through an organizational perspective; and 2) apply theories from the course to competently solve problems, manage continuity and change, and be more effective leaders and managers, especially in an international scale.
Course Content
The course will focus on the crucial elements of organizations (e.g., organization structure and culture) and how they relate to work behavior and management goals (e.g., knowledge, change, and social responsibility). We will examine these topics across sectors and types of organizations with particular attention to the global business environment and the Nordic Nine capabilities. The course is anchored on organization theory literature complemented by insights from cutting-edge research by course lecturers and current media debates about organizations.
Pedagogical Approach
The course follows an approach that emphasizes the development of critical thinking among students through the continuous application of concepts and discussion about their premises and relevance across contexts.
