MGT 510 - Organizational Behavior

3 credit(s)
This course is divided into two major components: organization theory and organizational behavior. The first component is macro in nature and focuses on organizational-level problems, such as how an organization should be designed (centralized or decentralized), what strategy it should follow (integrated or diversified), and how conflict and politics endemic to organizational life can be managed. The second component is primarily micro in nature and focuses on individual and group problems, such as how to evaluate and reward employees. The course will help students develop practical skills such as organizational diagnosis, intervention techniques for both small and large groups, dealing with resistance to change and designing communication programs for organizational transitions.
