MAM 8008 - Social Network Analysis, Partnership Facilitation, and Conflict Resolution


While critically examining managerial concepts and challenges related to establishing engaged social networks in a distributed organization, this course has a "practical application" format, providing students an opportunity to creatively experiment with and practically apply the concepts and practices examined in MAM 8003 & 8005 to organizational settings. It enables the further development of students' own virtual global perspectives while integrating new learning into their existing professional management approaches and workplace practices. With organizational behavior and social psychology as the background, there is a particular focus on how managers can develop vibrant knowledge sharing organizational dynamics, establish organizational partnerships, analyze organizational networks, implement innovative virtual work environments and meetings, and handle organizational conflict. 3 credit(s)
