Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In the seminar, we will discuss a central theme of organization design, the allocation of decision rights, from a variety of perspectives including economic models and classical concepts of organization theory. The topics will cover theoretical aspects as well as empirical literature and will also cover the impact of information technology and environmental uncertainty on this dimension of organizational design.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students must prepare written papers (in groups of at most two students) and present them to class. A first draft of the paper has to be handed in one week before presentation. Papers may be revised to create a final version (due at the end of the semester) after presentation. For each paper, two discussants will be assigned who have to prepare a brief (about one page) discussion statement on their colleague's work. Active participation in classroom discussion will also be evaluated.

The total score for the course is therefore based on:
Seminar paper (55%)
Presentation (20%)
Discussion paper (15%)
Active participation in discussions (10%)

All papers submitted will be checked for plagiarism and rules the rules published on our homepage will be strictly enforced.
