课程简介

Innovative management and inspired leadership need more than rules and knowledge: imagination, creativity and lateral thinking are also integral. This class offers students the opportunity to consider different ways to ask questions, ponder problems, discover opportunities and explore key concepts that inform the contemporary practice of management.

课程大纲

Week 1

The course begins with an exercise to show how our assumptions can impede how we approach problems, and the resulting issues this can create for managerial strategy and decision-making.

Week 2

We turn to an example from the Roman Empire to pose core management questions and to demonstrate how optimal outcomes are sometimes found in counter-intuitive approaches.

Week 3

Using the post-war emergence of standardized shipping as an example, we ask some basic questions about why some strategies succeed and others fail.

Week 4

We look at the experience of the 2000s housing bubble to show the force of what social-theorists call narrative frameworks in limiting our thinking.

Week 5

We explore the logic behind the market relationships that circumscribe many publicly-traded companies and consider the paradox that has emerged between short-term payoffs versus long-term value creation.

Week 6

We examine in-depth a specific case to show how the critical apparatus developed over the course can be used to develop a more acute approach to management strategy.
