About the course

As opposed to product-intensive work, the course sees knowledge as a prime source of value. The course covers the most central areas of organisation theory by recalling how these areas have emerged, what knowledge and theoretical models they have generated, and what they may have taught us about organising, in particular in relation to interdisciplinary teams. In addition to this, the course inquiries into the nature of this knowledge - its relevance for management and hidden assumptions. You will learn conceptual frameworks and experience-based approaches within the organisational field, and evaluate their relevance for understanding knowledge-intensive work in interdisciplinary teams.
