At the core of any organization are its people. The competitive
demands placed on organizations to be nimble, to produce more with
higher quality, to change constantly, to be more innovative, and to
partner more effectively require a fundamental understanding of
individual and collective behavior in organizations.
People-related issues such as leadership, human resource management,
motivation, teamwork, conflict resolution, organizational structure,
culture, change management, creativity, and innovation are key to the
ability of firms to compete effectively in increasingly demanding and
rapidly-changing environments. The organizational behavior area focuses
on these issues in its research, teaching, and doctoral training. Our
world-class faculty are thought leaders in their areas of
specialization, and are among the most respected educators and
researchers in the field of organizational behavior.
