AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims at introducing students to the main issues of organizational design and behavior.

TEACHING METHODS

The course provides both traditional (50%) and open (50%) classes.

During traditional classes all the main topics and analytical schemes are covered. Open classes, however, require active participation and are devoted to critical discussion.
