Behaviour and Communication in Organizations - Period 4

Theories and models from organizational sciences, communication science, and other relevant fields of research are introduced to explain behavior and communication in the workplace at the level of the individual, the group, and the organization as a whole. During the lectures, knowledge is presented about a wide variety of topics such as work attitudes and motivation, group dynamics and teamwork, decision making and managing conflict, power and leadership, and organizational change. In the accompanying workgroups knowledge is applied by solving several relevant cases in teams.
