The course addresses the topic of leadership in relation to the responsibility of the leader towards various stakeholders (e.g. employees, shareholders, community, suppliers, and environment) in both national and international context. In the course we evaluate advanced leadership theory and build practical leadership capabilities.
Learning Philosophy: This course is designed as a student-centered, not instructor-centered, learning experience. What this means is that everyone – instructor(s) and students – needs to be an active participant in whatever is going on in class, and that we all are interconnected and responsible for facilitating learning. Class time involves “hands on” activities and discussions based on outside-of-class reading and assignments. In order for everyone to learn, everyone must come prepared for class.
