Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is the first part of the module Organizational Design within the KFK Organization. It provides the theoretical foundations, while the second course of this module is oriented towards applications and case studies.
While the course Organizational Decision Making dealt with organization problems from a more abstract, decision-oriented perspective, this module of the KFK focuses on methods and problems of designing and changing actual organizations. Therefore, in this module, the concept of the perfectly rational "homo oeconomicus" is replaced by considerations of bounded rationality, and behavioural aspects and models are particularly emphasized.
The course is based on the book of Mary Jo Hatch (2006): Organization Theory: Modern Symbolic and Postmodern Perspectives, Oxford University Press, New York, second edition. Students are required to prepare for in-class discussion by reading the relevant chapters in the book and submit assignments. Grading is based on participation, assignments and a final exam. The course is in English.
