In this course, students will be taught the fundamental principles of the internal environment of businesses. Contents will start at the organizational level (e.g., strategy, structure, and culture, will then devolve into the department and process level (e.g., functional areas and value chains), and will end at the employee level (e.g., organizational behavior). In tandem with these, students will be applying the theory in cases offered in workshops. At the end of this course, students will not only understand the way organizations are designed in theory and practice but will also understand how all subject areas in the curriculum are interlinked.
