Courses

We offer an array of courses at all educational levels. Among these are in the fall 2024 the following courses:

 

Bachelor Students: HRM and Organizational Behavior (Lecture – 6 ECTS)

Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational behavior (OB) concern the study of individuals and groups within an organizational context, and the study of internal processes and practices as they affect individuals and groups. The course gradually broadens the level of perspective, starting out with an individual level perspective on, for example, perceptions, personality, attitudes, motivation, and emotions; proceeding to a dyadic and group level perspective on, for example, leadership, and team processes; and culminating in the organizational level perspective on, for example, an organization’s climate, culture, and management practice.

Students will learn about leadership and develop their own potential as leaders. This course guides students through over a century of leadership research, highlighting various theoretical perspectives of leadership as well as trends within the leadership literature. Students will learn to think critically about the history of leadership research and its future.

Doctoral Students: Contemporary Readings on Behavior in Organizations (Seminar – 3 ECTS)

Participants will read, review, and discuss working papers to improve their ability to critically and constructively engage in the scientific writing process. The working papers can range from a first rough draft to papers at an advanced stage in the revise+resubmit process. The working papers will come from the participants, auditors and guests of the seminar themselves, and so students are encouraged to contribute a working paper of their own to our reading list. The seminar relies exclusively on the written word for input – there are no presentations. Thus, participants will read and review papers, and are expected to base their discussions solely on what they have read. The author of the paper is in the role of the listener and has the chance to benefit from the feedback. The purpose of this seminar is not to find all the problems in a working paper, but instead to develop ideas on how the problems could be fixed and the paper be improved as a whole to heighten its chances in the publication process.
