Course Objectives: | This course is organized as an intensive seminar. Student participation and idea generation is central to the success of the semester. By the end of this semester, I expect the students to be able to: -Understand key theoretical concepts on decision theory and behavioral economics, -Identify social and psychological factors that shape leadership, and -Develop an understanding of social networks for leadership development. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; |
This course explores the interplay between social networks&leadership. This course begins with an exploration of the meaning of leadership& then examines the ways in which the social networksshape it. Particular attention is paid to the role that knowledge economy of the 21st century play in shaping new definitions of leadership. |
