Organizations are political institutions that use power and influence to make decisions and implement initiatives. While organizational politics is often perceived negatively with many trying their best to avoid it and a few enjoying the political game, in essence we all have to manage an organization’s political environment. This course analyzes the inherent power dimension associated with politics as a means to navigate the subtleties of political situations and diagnose an organization’s political landscape by thinking and acting politically.

Most social scientists define power as "the capacity to get what you want over the resistance of others" and influence as "the translation of power into action". Power and Influence examines the bases of subunit and individual power in organizations and the means by which subunit and individual power is translated into influence. The course assumes that leaders sometimes must acquire power to be effective, but recognizes that leaders do not always use power in the interests of the organization. Thus, the course explores the positive and negative effects that power and its use can have an organizational effectiveness and in the process considers the ethics of power and influence. The course also recognizes that leaders are not the only organization participants who acquire power and exercise influence in organizations. Thus, the course focuses not just on leaders but also middle level managers and lower level employees. The course's most basic premise is that managers at all levels of the organization can improve their effectiveness (both in pursuit of their own and their organization's interests) if they better understand how power is accumulated and used in organizations. Class sessions are devoted to discussing case studies in light of theoretical arguments advanced in readings.

In the modern economy, market change is rapid as competition becomes fiercer, customers more fickle, and technology a key differentiator across industries – from automobiles to media. To compete, firms must disrupt or respond to disruption. The central tenet of this course is that effective strategic change is rooted in having entrepreneurial elements in a firm’s organization design that drives strategy discovery for successful pivots. Executives must condition employees to experiment and discover, establish pathways for novel ideas to take hold and flourish, and retain the ability to pivot even at the highest levels. Firms with entrepreneurial design for strategy discovery will develop the capacity to both cultivate new ideas and successfully integrate promising acquisitions to support strategic change.

A strategic leader is more than a manager: strategic leadership includes the ability to navigate unpredictable situations and to draw on the informal and formal levers of strategy execution to inspire, guide, and direct groups toward the strategic goal. In this class, we will learn the principles of strategic leadership and how to apply them. This includes a deep awareness of your own personality, strengths, and values, as well as a clear understanding of your organization’s strategy and vision. We will discuss the leadership situations you are best suited for personally, where you might encounter challenges, and how to develop new leadership skills. This includes cultivating the ability to give and receive feedback to strengthen relationships. We will explore how to leverage politics to enhance strategic leadership and lead through crisis. Finally, we will draw on these lessons for strategic leadership guiding an organization in times of change.

Decision making is a constant task in everyday life, yet decision making is especially important in organizations as our decisions not only affect us but they also affect other members of the organization, the broader organization, outside stakeholders, and more. This course thus seeks to provide an overview of decision-making from a psychological and behavioral decision theory perspective. The content of this course relies heavily on well-established basic research, as students will learn the basics of a variety of decision and cognitive biases as well as the basics of cognition and information processing. Although many of the decision processes and mechanisms that we learn apply to many different domains, the class sessions will focus on four domains of decision making: (i) risk and decision making, (ii) persuasion and decision making, (iii) ethical decision making, and (iv) well-being and decision making. In concert with the lectures and interactive discussions, together we will learn how these various decision processes and phenomena apply to our workplace experiences and how they can inform initiatives to improve decision processes.
