This course examines human social dynamics that are involved in the successful formation and functioning of high performance teams. Topics include group dynamics, social influence, and team leadership and will be delivered via small-group exercises, case analyses, discussion and lecture.

This course will also focus on major theories of decision making, motivation, personality, and learning.
