Objectives of the program:

This course aims to review exemplary studies in Organizational Behaviour to gain a comprehensive understanding of the field evolution, as well as of research concepts and designs that might be used to generate new knowledge. We will also engage in identifying new research questions and developing ways and methods to address them. Finally, by engaging in presentations and class discussions, participants will have the opportunity to develop skills (e.g. presentation, debate, writing) that are essential to their academic careers

Evaluation: Presentation and class discussion
