Organizations must be able to compete in environments marked by complex interactions and rapid change. The Department of Management and Organizational Behavior offers courses and conducts research on how organizations can better manage internal and external interactions and changes. The content ranges from organization-wide topics, such as competitive positioning, managing new technologies, and shaping organizational cultures, to the skills needed by individual managers, such as negotiating and building commitment. All courses emphasize (1) applying relevant theory to the analysis of complex organizational problems; (2) experiential learning (through cases and exercises); and (3) a general management focus. Our main interest is in managerial practice, and we regard our primary task as applying relevant theory in ways that enhance students' ability to diagnose and manage more effectively complex organizational situations. The department's faculty have published widely on such diverse subjects as strategic change, managerial cognition, organizational learning, innovation and new technologies, knowledge management, socialization processes, and diversification and globalization strategies. |
