| Course description |
| In this lecture, we will focus on organizational behavior theory and knowledge creation theory to deepen our understanding of human behavior, organizational structure, decision-making processes, and knowledge creation within organizations. Approximately half of the lecture will be dedicated to explaining theories and concepts, while the remaining half will be spent on group exercises. During these exercises, we will launch simulated team projects to experience knowledge creation organizations, develop practical skills in team building and business plan creation, and present business plans. Additionally, we will provide opportunities for students to engage in dialogues with each other about the topics covered in each lecture to facilitate self-growth. Overall, the goal of this course is to learn organizational behavior theory and knowledge creation theory, and acquire practical organizational behavior skills through the experience of collective sense-making processes. |
