Course Content

The lecture aims at offering students insights into the concepts of organization theory, which helps to understand how organizations can be managed more effectively. Organizations are continuously faced with a number of challenges. For example:

  • How can organizations adapt to competitors, customers, the government, and creditors?
  • What strategic and structural changes are needed to attain effectiveness?
  • How can managers cope with the problems of coordination?
  • What kind of corporate culture is needed to enhance the organization’s innovation?

These are some of the topics that will be discussed in the lecture, which is divided into two parts. In the lecture, key terms and concepts of organization theory are presented. In the exercises, these aspects will be applied to real-life problems through the use of case studies and open discussions to generate an in-depth understanding of organization theory.
