Organizations are complex and can be difficult to manage well. So managers need tools to help them better understand and deal with the many complexities and challenges associated with organizational life. In this course, you will learn theories, principles, and frameworks that will help you to design more effective organizations. We will view organizations from different perspectives that we will use as lenses to help us bring common organizational challenges, and solutions to those challenges, into focus. Some of these common challenges include clarifying the organization’s purpose, setting up effective governance systems, measuring organizational effectiveness, choosing an appropriate organizational structure, dealing with growing pains, and responding to changes outside the organization. As you learn and apply the principles from this course, you will be better prepared to effectively navigate the challenges that you face in your own organization.

Meilleurs avis pour DESIGNING THE ORGANIZATION
The course is nice but the wording of the course is heavy and is confusing most of the time.\n\nYou've to put a lot of effort in trying to understand what the instructor means or want to say/ask.
Good course, but I had a lot of trouble interacting with the app. It would not let me post comments or questions which was a bit frustrating. Going off the app and through the website now!
I thoroughly enjoyed this course, as it helped me understand the corporate world better and how organizations are designed. I found it explained the company I work for very well.
I really learnt many useful things and skills by this course. Really thanks your Coursera team for giving us this chance to complete our education while sitting at home. THANKS!
This course was good and the professor did a good job explaining content, however, it didn't really seem like useful information to me since it was extremely theoretical.
Professor Leblebici is incredible teacher, and the Courses' materials are so powerful, and very important to learn how to implement them almost in any type of business!
Thanks for offering a useful course with lots of supporting videos, presentations, pdf files, and materials to test my comprehension level. Would definitely recommend.
Good course, but I wish there were more time spent on practical application instead of just theory. It would be great to know how to do all of these wonderful things.
I enjoyed this course's focus on design. The videos were useful and concise, as were the readings, and the assignments were structured well to make you think.
Great content that I know I will use in the future. Really opened my eyes as to how much the Strategy of the Organization is the key to its success.
I really liked this course and will be retaining my notes from it. I believe my notes will help somewhere down the line in my professional career.
Watch the summary videos at the end of module four of managing the organization first, they provide great structure to attach your learning to.
