Content
Much of our professional and private life today is shaped by management and organizations. Management matters to all of us. We have to manage ourselves, manage others in student working groups, and after graduation, manage within firms. This course will take you on a trip through some main roads, a few backstreets, and several exciting places to explore management thinking and practice. Mary Parker Follett once stated: “Management is the art of getting things done through people.” We do so by infusing organizations with a purpose, developing strategies to anticipate the future, organizing people’s work, making organizational decisions, managing digital technology, shaping daily routine operations, and, among other things, facilitating innovation. Throughout these topics, you will learn to combine state-of-the-art scientific knowledge with practical applications and reflections.
The objective of this module is to give students a thorough introduction to the topic of Management. This course aims to provide a basic understanding of the following topics:
1. Managers and Management
2. Managing Purpose
3. Managing Strategy
4. Managing Structures
5. Managing Decision-Making
6. Managing Digital Technology
7. Managing Routine Operations
8. Managing Expertise
9. Managing Innovation
