1 Semester Unit

Power is part of the reality of everyday life of any organization, whether a financial institution, a high-tech company, or a non-profit. Moreover, power is a key mechanism through which organizations operate. This course will enable students to learn and understand this complex mechanism, in order to help them navigate the processes of gaining and implementing power throughout their careers. In addition, we will discuss the effects of power and hierarchy on a variety of business phenomena such as decision making, risk taking, moral behavior, team performance, and job interview success. Classes are based on lectures, case studies, in-class exercises, student presentations, and videos.
