BUS 43000 - Organizations And Organizational Change

The objective of this class is to introduce the principles of organization design - the blueprint by which different parts of the organization (e.g., production, marketing, financial, accounting, and MIS systems) fit together to create an effective organization. Organization design provides the means by which strategy and goals are implemented so it is as important to a firm’s overall performance as financial performance, operational efficiencies or market share.
