Organizational Behavior (OB) is the systematic study and application of knowledge about how individuals and groups act within the organizations where they work. Employers are increasingly recognizing that 'soft' skills (e.g., how to motivate a team) are as important, if not more important, than 'technical' skills (e.g., how to write a computer program). This course will teach you various aspects of OB at the level of the individual, the group, and the organization.

Eisenhower Paper Class Attendance & Participation14 Mar & 16 Mar - No Classes - Spring BreakRead the Harvard Business Review Case Study "Gen Y in the Workforce" by Tamara J. Erickson and answer the question "How can Sarah and Josh work together more effectively?". You have two pages for your answer: single-line spacing, Arial font, font size 11. You can attach any footnotes and references on a third page. Your evaluation on this paper will be based on how clear, concise, and professional you are in presenting your analysis and comments. Your paper should be submitted in a hardcopy on or before class on 11th April. On the paper, please put your first name, last name and course and semester Spring 2011. Please follow these directions precisely.Points for class participation will be based on your punctuality, regular attendance, quality and extent of discussion in class, and during guest lectures. Leaving the class after roll call counts as an absence. Class participation requires your studying class materials before the class. I may test this with one or more surprise quizzes - the points from these quizzes go toward your class participation.Exclusive of the participation grade, you are allowed two excused absences. After that, each absence results in a reduction of 5 percentage points from your total grade. (You need to be in class before attendance is taken to be counted as present). Use of laptops or cell phones are strictly forbidden during class hours.
Course Requirements and Grading Policy
The course content will be presented and discussed through a combination of lectures and class discussions. My intent is to help you think through the issues in a given context, and to help you articulate your participation in class discussions clearly and concisely. Students are expected to attend all classes and to read the assigned material. You need to come to class after having studied the material that will be discussed in a given class. University guidelines recommend that you study 2-3 hours per week for every credit hour in which you are enrolled. Your grade will be based on the following:
