Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The main topic of the seminar is "Strategy, Structure and Performance". Using results from both theoretical and empirical research, we will discuss how a firm's strategy is reflected in its organizational structure, and the impact of both strategy and structure, as well as their fit, on performance.The seminar will be structured into three blocks, dealing with models of strategy, the strategy-structure link, and performance effects of strategy and structure.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students must prepare written papers (in groups of at most two students) and present them to class. A first draft of the paper has to be handed in two weeks before presentation Papers may be revised to create a final version (due at the end of the semester) after presentation. For each paper, two discussants will be assigned who have to prepare a brief (about one page) discussion statement on their colleague's work. Active participation in classroom discussion will also be evaluated.All papers submitted will be checked for plagiarism and rules the rules published on our homepage will be strictly enforced.
