And fourth, OB is used as the basis for enhancing organizational effectiveness and individual well-being. After completed the course, you should: (i) analyze individual and group behavior; (ii) understand different work groups, cultures and environments affect an individual behavior; (iii) be well experienced in developing actions to different employees according to their perceptions and attitudes. |
