In this course students will apply the theoretical knowledge on organizational behaviour they have to issues of internal communication. Using case studies, the following themes will be discussed during classes:
- Individuals in organisations (e.g. learning, personality, communication, perception and motivation)
- Groups and teams in organizations (e.g. group formation, group structure, individuals in groups and teamwork)
- Management processes (e.g. change, leadership, decision making, conflict and power & politics).
In addition, students will get an introduction with regard to Social Network Analysis. Using their knowledge on theory and networks, students will develop a research based communication advice with regard to an empirical case. This assignment will be done as a team effort. |
