This course offers International Business Communication students a first introduction to the broad field of Organisation and Management. The aim of this course is to familiarise students with the perspective, (basic) concepts, and theories of management studies and the application of business administration principles in (communication) practice.
Themes covered in the course include an introduction with regard to
- how we can understand organisational behaviour,
- the changing context in which organisations operate (e.g. culture, technology) and
- organisational structures (e.g. work design, elements of structure, organisation design and organisational architecture).
In addition, this course will familiarise students with the core activity of organisations: making decisions with regard to products, prices, marketing, logistics and finance. The basis for this is a management game in which students run their own virtual organisation. |
