Advanced Topics in Organizational Behavior Summer School


Summer School

Aims

State of the science coverage of key themes in organizational behavior, with the emphasis on the possibilities to use this knowledge in the own research.

Information

This course is taught by Dr Bart de Jong from Australian Catholic University. You can find his bio here.

The course targets students with an active interest in behavioral research in management that seek to use insights from organizational behavior in their own research – regardless of whether this is in organizational behavior, strategic management, innovation management, behavioral operations management, or another area of behavioral research in management. Basic knowledge of behavioral research is therefore required, so the course can concentrate on advanced coverage of the state of the science.

On the basis of review/conceptual articles as well as exemplars of empirical research, the course covers a series of key themes in organizational behavior (e.g., teams, leadership, creativity & innovation, social networks). The format is a combination of short lectures, interactive discussion, in-class exercises, and guest lectures to develop an in-depth understanding of the current state of play in a series of subareas of organizational behavior. The bottom line aim of the sessions is to provide input for participants’ own research – the course should not only develop one’s knowledge of research in organizational behavior, but also lead to actionable knowledge that can be translated into the own research efforts.

Assessment

Research proposal or short conceptual paper (up to participants’ discretion)
