040054 VK Organization and Human Resources / Organization (2008W)

The VK "Organization and Human Resources - Subtopic Organization" details the contents of the accordant EK which is also a prerequisite for attending the course. In the first part the emergence of organisations and basic alternatives for structuring organizations will be repeated (e.g. organization charts, single-line und multiple-line system; matrix-organization, etc). Thereupon will be given an overview on classical theories of Organizational Design (Mintzberg's Fives, Contingency Theory, Transaction Cost Theory, etc.) as well as newer approaches (virtual organizations, network organizations, etc). Furthermore, sample calculations on governing and coordinating decentralised structures will be presented.
