I. Course Information
Intelligence and technical knowledge will only take you so far in your work and private lives. My goal is to introduce you to behavior in organization (and of organizations) in a way that stresses you personal behavioral skill development. In other words, the course should help you assess your strengths and weaknesses and will stress how you can enhance and improve your management skills. To that end, the course stresses a mix of assessment tests for each chapter to give you a personal point of departure for learning and skill development, along with basic theory and cases and role plays to examine examples of situations and skills that we are studying. This is a hands-on course. I expect students to come to class prepared to learn and to participate!
Course Objectives:
1) To provide students with knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of organizational behavior (i.e. human behavior in organizations).
2) The course includes both theoretical and practical aspects of OB and is designed to offer introductory knowledge, skills, and perspectives in OB that can be useful for students’ professional and academic careers.
II. Course Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
1． Understand the basic principles of organizational behavior (i.e. human behavior in organizations).
2． Be equipped with introductory knowledge, skills, and perspectives in OB that can be useful for students’ professional and academic careers.
