Course objectives
Given the recurring economic, political and financial crises, it is important to address the skills, processes and conditions that enhance organizational resilience. This course is therefore mainly focused on identifying, studying and developing these skills on the side of a leader and his/her team but also deals with organisational antecedents (processes and conditions) that enable them to apply these skills.

Course objectives:
• Students are able to understand the conditions supporting organizational resilience.
• Students are able to identify and analyze organizational resilience and draw general conclusions.
• Students are able to acquire scientific knowledge from primary sources and critically think about them.
• Students are able to derive practical implications from literature and convincingly present their own position on the aspects of organizational resilience.
• Students are proficient in the use of qualitative research methods, more precisely they are able to collect and analyze data and evaluate the results of their research.
• Students, individually and as a team, are able to communicate professionally with representatives of resilient organizations.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- identify and describe skills that promote organizational resilience;
- identify and describe organisational antecedents (conditions and processes) that support the application of those skills;
- apply this knowledge about organisational resilience into practice.
Syllabus
  • This course has three phases.
  • In the first phase students will learn theoretical knowledge about conditions and processes that support organizational resilience. This phase consists of an introductory meeting, a study of a given literature and a theoretically oriented workshop.
  • In the second phase, students identify and, in small groups, analyze cases of organizational resilience, building on the knowledge gained in phase one. The second phase consists of independent studies in the field and is accompanied by coaching by the teacher.
  • In the third phase, students present and interpret their empirical findings as well as their newly acquired experience. This phase of presentations and reflection will take place in the final workshop.
