Aims, contents and method of the course

The VK 'Organization and Human Resources' deepens the contents of the accordant EK, which is also the prerequisite for attending the course. We apply organizational theories on case studies. These case studies deal with different alternatives in coordinating economic activities (hierarchy, network, and market). Special focus is put on the organizational structure and organizational processes. Additionally, we practice the controlling in decentralized structures. Additionally, we discuss the main topics in human resource management. In any possible organizational structure, the effective use of human resources is critical to the success of the organization. The VK focuses on the areas of recruiting and human resource development.

Assessment and permitted materials

Die Endnote setzt sich aus einer Endklausur (40%), der Bearbeitung einer Fallstudie (40%), sowie Tests (20%) zusammen.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The objective of this course is to impart competent knowledge in organization and human resources by practically applying the basic theoretical contents acquired in the EK.

Examination topics

Starting with a brief recapitulation of the relevant contents of the EK, the course places emphasis on student participation. Working on case studies and exercises, students practically apply and detail the basic theoretical contents acquired in the EK. Current trends in human resource management are discussed and critically reviewed. Students work on their own as well as in teams.

Aims, contents and method of the course

Core topics covered in the course include problems related to designing and managing economic organizations (structures and processes) and the analysis of human resources function (the role and value of skills).
By the end of the course, students should be able to answer to the following questions:
- what are economic organizations and which are their problems; - which aspects of organization matter; - when are markets and formal organizations more efficient for the coordination of economic activity; - how can we judge economic organizations and their performances; - which is the best way to organize an economic activity; - which are the criteria for comparing alternative systems;- why do firms exist; - how can we critically evaluate HR practices?

Assessment and permitted materials

- 50% final exam
- 40% quiz(zes)
- 5% attendance
- 5% participation (active involvement during the class)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The principal aim of this course is to provide fundamental theoretical tools for understanding organizations and for managing human resources.

Examination topics

The course is designed to present theoretical concepts that will be exemplified by the presentation of case studies or followed by exercises.
In addition, experiments and case studies will also be used to address problems of specific organizations or theories as well as to illustrate situations in which there is a mismatch between theory and reality.

Reading list

All the course material (e.g. lectures notes, short essays, further readings) will be available on-line (Moodle).
