MG 452 - Power and Influence

(3.00 cr.)

Personality and experience differences lead to varying interpretations of the role and usage of power in organizations. Although many of us would like to believe that we can be successful while avoiding power and politics in the workplace, the simple truth is that we cannot. Organizations are fundamentally political entities where choices regarding objectives and implementation are made primarily on the basis of who has, and chooses to use, power. This course is about getting things done in organizations where choices are often unclear, and power enables action. The learning method is experiential with a focus on case analysis, class discussions, experiential exercises, team projects, and a reflection journal.

Prerequisite: MG 201  or BH 201 , and 60 credits.
Sessions Typically Offered: Fall/Spring
Years Typically Offered: Annually

Interdisciplinary Studies: IMC
