Navigating Organizations
Kimberly Wade-Benzoni
Description from DukeHub
The reality of business life is that no person is an island, smart quantitative analysis without the support of employees, colleagues, or supervisors goes nowhere. To succeed in your career and to improve the performance of your company requires working with others effectively. This course has 2 goals: (1) Provide a roadmap for understanding how organizations function; (2) Provide basic concepts you can build on later in your career. With success in your technical job you will be promoted and your responsibilities will shift increasingly to leading and managing others. The course will accomplish these goals by focusing on many different knowledge-bases and skill sets. These include: What principles can you draw on to analyze and improve performance in organizations? How can you exert influence for positive results at any level of an organization? This course is for MQM: Business Analytics students.
