Management and Behavioral Principles

About the class

This course focuses on human behavior in an organizational context. Topics include individual processes, interpersonal relations, cross-cultural dynamics, team structure and processes, organizational structure and design, and organizational influences on behavior. Since the development of managerial skills is best supported when students are given the opportunity to understand and practice those skills, this course emphasizes both theory and student experiences.

A variety of teaching/learning approaches will be used in class, including self-assessment instruments, experiential exercises, role-plays and class discussions. The course will also include a consulting project for Worcester non-profit agencies.

Professor: Dr. Priscilla M. Elsass
