Course Description
This course is an introductory core course in Organization Management, specifically focusing on Organizational Behavior (OB). The primary objective of this course is to teach students about the effects of individual and group behavior on organizational processes and outcomes. Throughout the course an emphasis is placed on how you, as an organizational member, might experience and interpret these processes and be affected by them. A major feature of this course is that it emphasizes learning about interpersonal skills. By taking this course, students will learn effective ways to function as organizational or team members and to manage people in various organizational settings.
This course uses a variety of teaching methods to promote both an intellectual understanding and a personal sense of the subject matter. Lecture sessions are coupled with experiential learning techniques (e.g., cases, role plays, simulations and discussion groups) and audio-visual materials (films and videos) to facilitate understanding of the concepts of the course and to demonstrate their application to management situations typically encountered in organizations.
The course addresses four topic areas:
1)        Understanding Individuals in the Workplace. To function in today's changing workplace, you need to have an understanding of individual differences, motivation, cognition, and emotion.
2)        Communicating Effectively. One important aspect of working with others is to know how to communicate effectively, how to give feedback, how to make decisions, and how to handle conflict. You will learn how to deal with conflict and communicate feedback to others, and in the process of working on your team projects you will no doubt experience many opportunities for negotiation.
3)        Designing and Changing Organizations. Organizations are not fixed entities carved in stone. Rather, effective organizations adjust their design to accommodate the goals of the organization. You will learn about organizational structure, job design, culture and change.
4)        Leading Others. One important aspect of being a manager is to understand how to lead others. You will learn about leadership and power, and then reflect on these issues as they relate to team performance and organizational outcomes, as well as to individual outcomes.
