Organizations are complex environments. They exist for the simple reason that groups of people can accomplish more than individuals working alone. These complexities of collective social action give rise to the need for effective management and leadership. While few would dispute that the modern organization presents many paradoxical challenges such as (1) creating meaningful learning communities while at the same time downsizing or shifting operations to another country, (2) moving to a team-oriented, empowered organization under the top-down command of a strong leader; or (3) building organizational capabilities for long run success while facing intense competitive pressures for immediate improvement in financial performance, there is little agreement about how to resolve and transcend these problems. This course will surely help you.
