[Purpose] Organizational theory is an interdisciplinary applied science that has been developed primarily based on theories from various academic fields, such as psychology, sociology, management, and economics. The reason why people create organizations is to create added value that cannot be achieved alone. The first thing organizations should do to create "new added value" is to establish a "will," which means "vision." On the other hand, an organization is a complex system. When people operate organizations, they need to gain a perspective that overlooks the entire complex system and make decisions based on a holistic perspective for optimal outcomes. Therefore, it is important to develop an overviewing thinking ability, which means "seeing the forest for the trees," to consider the entire system. In this course, we will learn about predicting changes in the external environment, ambidextrous management, knowledge creation theory, and the basics of new business development processes from the perspective of creating "new added value" organizations. [Lecture Objectives] This lecture aims to deepen understanding of various theories from three perspectives: individual level (first-person), interpersonal level (second-person), and organizational level (third-person). In addition, through individual and group work provided during the lecture, students will further enhance their understanding. |

| Message from instructor(s) |
| Organizational theory is an interdisciplinary field, and it is not enough to simply know the theory; it is important to be able to practice it, involving those around you. Moreover, it is not limited to just a business framework, but we hope that students will learn as a starting point for considering the practical application of organizational theory to corporate organizational change projects, while understanding abstract concepts such as phenomenology, philosophy, and knowledge creation theory. |
