Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Organizational and behavioral decision making is a huge field with a long tradition and as such, providing an overview that is also relevant for current and emerging trends is a daunting task. Consequently, the decision was made to go for a hybrid approach, including overview articles that discuss important topics as reviews, and supplementing them with current and important research articles that dig deeper.
The course is organized over five days with nine separate sessions that each cover one topic. Within a session, we will roughly spend 45 minutes per article, and conclude the session with a discussion on how to advance the topics further.

Assessment and permitted materials

short thought papers (around 300 words per article) - 15% of the grade
paper presentations (one per sessions; 30 minutes each) - 30% of the grade
discussion participation - 15% of the grade
paper (15 pages; 12-point font, double-spaced) - 40% of the grade

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

No exam; s. above for requirements (papers, presentations,...)
