Course Description
With the increasing globalization and technological developments, and the changing external
environments due to disruptive innovations, organizations are constantly seeking to update their
internal capabilities. These changes have caused shifts in management focus from a traditional
monitoring and control of employees focus to their engagement and involvement in innovation
activity, leading to heterarchical sort of structures, which allow a certain level of discretion to
employees in taking initiatives, which could foster their development as well as the development of
the organization as a whole. This new era of management asks the managers to focus on leading
change, harness people’s creativity, and find shared visions and values. This course focuses on
exploring the newest management ideas for turbulent times in a way that is interesting and valuable
while retaining the best of traditional management thinking. The case-based methodology of the
course assures that students can apply the contemporary concepts of management in the
