Obiettivi
This is a course on the design, diagnosis, and management of business organizations. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to frameworks for understanding organizational processes and to give them experience in applying these frameworks to particular cases.
A basic premise of this course is that there are no universal rules or models for managing organizations. Practices that worked well in the past will not necessarily continue to work well in the future, and changes that helped one type of firm may harm another.
Thus, the primary aim of this course is to provide students with a critical understanding of how external as well as internal factors influence the structure and functioning of the organization.
Typically, students of this course do not have extensive organizational experience. Consequently, in order to engage them in today’s world of organizations, this course includes class discussions and group exercises based on the analysis of real-world cases of companies and organizations that have undergone a major shift in strategic and organizational direction, structure or values.
Sillabo
