Course Description

Organizational Behavior (OB) is "the study of human behavior in organizational settings. It looks at the interface between human behavior  and the organization itself. No matter how innovative organizations and how well-designed financing arrangements may be, their success will be of limited value unless the implementing team is composed of members who can actually do their jobs efficiently and effectively.

This course focuses on the role of human resources, seen as a key for the functioning, success, and failure of organizations. The primary goal of this course is to help students understand how people behave in the context of an organizational structure. Having a greater knowledge of human behavior will help students to better understand and predict the attitudes and behaviors of their co-workers, subordinates, supervisors, as well as their clients. Most importantly, through in-class exercise, cases, readings and assignments, this course will help students to better understand their own past and future behaviors as a member and leader within an organization.
