Course Overview:
This course focuses on the theory and application of human behaviors in organization (HBO). HBO typically deals with three levels of phenomena in the context of workplace – individual, group and organizational levels. However, our class focuses on the first two levels (i.e., individual and group) and leaves the discussion of organization-level phenomena to other courses such as business strategy and organizational structure.
The overall course objective is to teach you the skills essential to effective management of individuals and groups in today’s global business environment. This objective will be achieved by exposing you to a variety of theories and applications. At the end the course, you are expected to learn tools, skills and strategies for: • Enhancing your managerial judgment • Improving individual and group effectiveness • Understanding worker behaviors in the work context • Having better and significant influence on people in the work place
