Description
The purpose of this course is to understand the theory and processes of working in a group or team. The course is designed to be relevant to the broad spectrum of problems that are faced in a variety of group settings. Students will learn analytical and behavioral tools to effectively diagnose complex dynamics in work groups and take action to improve group performance. Students will also learn practical interpersonal skills useful for implementing effective strategies in group situations. The course is intended to help students be more effective while working in study groups at the DESB and later working in groups and teams once they graduate. Considerable emphasis will be placed on simulations, role-playing, and cases. This course will incorporate many of the topics that are currently being addressed during orientation and will culminate with the business challenge.
