Expected prior knowledge none.

Course Contents In this course we will consider decision making within organizations. First we'll focus on the structure of organizations. Why do organizations differ from each other? How is work within organizations coordinated? Who's got formal power in a certain type of organization? Who's got informal power? For this part we will use the book 'Structure in Fives' by Henry Mintzberg. He describes five different types of organizations and the way they function within their environment. We will take a brief look on strategy processes in organizations. What is strategy? Who is involved in formulating strategies in different organization types?

Study Goals Understanding the organizational context of complex problems.

Understanding the difficulties that surround the processes of decision-making, particularly in organizational networks.

Module Manager Dr. H.G. van der Voort Education Period 4

Exam Period 4

Expected prior knowledge Spm9232.

Course Contents This course focuses on decision making within and between organizations. We'll introduce you to network approaches. Network approaches are a response to models in which management is seen as a more or less rational and sequential process from problem identification to evaluation and feedback.

In network approaches, organizations depend on each other for the realization of their aims and for this reason maintain ongoing relations with each other. Management makes use of these relations in several ways.

Study Goals Understanding the difficulties that surround the processes of decision-making, particularly in organizational networks. Designing strategies that can cope with this context.
