Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course builds on the fundamentals of organizational behaviour to examine three core topics: motivation, teams, and power, as well as underlying processes. Systematic study of these topics draws on perspectives from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and political science. Students explore intersections among topics through ethical, global, analytical, and action-oriented lenses. A range of instructional methods are used, including lecture, exercises, film, and case analysis.
