These insights will hopefully enhance our ability to understand other peoples views and the complex world of organization and management. Second, one gets a better understanding of other people, and that they may see the world with different eyes. That other people have other perspectives than I, does not necessarily mean that they are wrong and I am right. There always exist different ways of looking at a situation. Third, by reflection one can cope with and act in ambiguous and uncertain situations.
Complex situations demand more complex ways of thinking and sense-making.
Fourth, one realizes that even in apparently simple situations there is always the possibility to act in a variety of ways. In line with the pedagogical idea of integrating theory and practice, and thereby fostering reflection, the course is divided into five, partly parallel parts. The rest of the course will focus on the application of the learned theories for understanding organizational phenomena and their complexity in order to take effective action in real life business situations. Assignments in these parts of the course should be carried out in groups of 4-5 persons. An important objective of this second part of the course is to gain insight into the practice of management and organization.
