OM 501 - Introduction to Organizational Management3 cr.
New discoveries, new technologies, competition, and globalization compel organizations to foster agility, innovation, and performance improvement. This course examines organizational theory, practice and learning in the context of rapidly changing competitive and economic environments. Strategies and tactics for growth and performance improvement are explored. This course covers issues of current relevance, including social networks, knowledge management, innovation, organizational learning and design thinking.
