Organizational Behaviour (CBS, BSc in International Business)
Semester: Fall Semester
Syllabus available here
The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of how organizations work based on organization and management scholarship. The objectives are that students will: 1) develop an ability to identify, analyze, and discuss important aspects and determinants of work behavior through an organizational perspective; and 2) apply theories from the course to competently and strategically solve problems, effect successful organizational change, and be more effective leaders and managers, especially in an international scale. The course focuses on some building blocks of organizations (e.g., organization structure and culture) and how they relate to work behavior and management goals (e.g., learning, innovation, and social responsibility). The course is delivered through a mix of lectures, case workshops, online Q&As, and podcasts.
Business Projects (CBS, MSc Strategy, Organization, and Leadership)
Semester: Spring Semester
Syllabus available here
In this course, students learn to conduct empirical research that builds on knowledge and insights from first year SOL courses and that offers recommendations for organizational practice. With guidance from a supervisor, students develop a business project that includes formulation of a research question, independent literature search, collection and analysis of empirical data, and discussion of the implications of the findings for organizational practice. The course provides students with experience in conducting empirical research that can support their Master thesis.
Supervision: Internships, Bachelor, and Master (CBS, all programs)
I have supervised students across all levels and in various topics related to organization and management. These include research on expertise development in start-ups, knowledge sharing in consulting firms, safety and resilience in public infrastructure organizations, cross-boundary collaboration in multinationals, and organizational (re)design change in biomedical projects. I am currently interested in supervising theses related to workplace collaboration; organizational restructuring; the management of experts via skills mapping and similar tools; and the work of officers tasked with environmental and social goals (e.g., sustainability officers, DEI officers, etc.). I am also generally interested in thesis projects based on research in technical organizations or that explore questions related to organizational development. Finally, I have a particular focus on organizational topics related to cyber security.
