This course will deal with prominent theories about human behavior in organizations (e.g., prospect theory, social identity theory) and discuss them in the context of innovation management. Such an approach to the understanding of management theory is important because people are clearly an organization's most critical resource. Their knowledge and skills along with their commitment, creativity, and effort are the basis for competitive advantage out of innovation that is often realized with means of collective work. More information on this course will be published on the website of Professor Razinskas.
