Managing People: Psychological Foundations
Course Number:
E_IBA2_MPPF
Course Description:
This course is about you. Managing People: Psychological Foundations deals with the human factor in organizations. All business functions in the IBA curriculum, like Marketing, Supply Chain Management, and Strategy, can impossibly exist without people executing them. This course introduces you to psychological concepts and theories (e.g., motivation, leadership, and inclusion) and engages you in a critical discussion on their application for managing people in organizations (e.g., how does motivation matter for employee performance management?; what is good team leadership?; and how can organizations manage diversity through inclusion?). We put particular emphasis on managing people in the international context. On the one hand, it is argued that a lot of human behavior in organizations tends to be universal, for example, the ways in which people can be motivated, the attitudes and emotions they bring to work, or people’s resistance to change.
