Organizations are complex social systems that blend practices, culture, structures, processes, and people in order to achieve certain strategic goals. This course helps students better understand the principles and frameworks to develop and adapt organizations so that they can deliver on these goals. We examine key organizational decisions such as how to structure and design an organization; how to develop a high-performance organizational culture, how to attract and retain key talent needed in the organization, and how to build informal power without fostering resistance, including managing with empathy and credibility. We address these topics by engaging in case studies and experiential approaches, such as simulations and role plays, as well as discuss contemporary organizational challenges.
