授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

Organization and Leadership is suitable for students who wish to improve their understanding of a leader’s role in an organization and how effective leadership can contribute to organizational management and performance. This course aims to introduce the theories and practices of leadership and examine some contextual factors affecting effective leadership. The primary function is not to train students to be brilliant leaders; rather, it is to raise students’ awareness on how profoundly a leader can affect an organization so that they would pay attention to their leadership style when they have a chance to lead subordinates or an organization. Case studies are employed in class to enable students to learn flexibly and creatively.

事前学修と事後学修の内容、レポート、課題に対するフィードバック方法 Pre- and Post-Course Learning, Report, Feedback methods

Students are expected to study each case and prepare their own answers to the questions in this syllabus. The class is based on open discussions and students are facilitated to exchange their opinions with their classmates. During the open discussions, students are expected to think flexibly and adjust their opinions. No specific comment may be given to each student’s opinion, but students will know if their opinions are appreciated by listening to their classmates’ feedback.

“Traditional” teaching method means explanation/summary of some key concepts/theories by the lecturer prior to or after the case discussion.

The course is conducted in 7 days (classes). Each class is composed of two parts:
1. Open discussion of assigned questions – The class starts with discussions for the assigned case questions. Students volunteered or named will have a chance to share their opinions to the class. Students will also have a chance to discuss with their classmates before the class starts.
2. Open discussion of hidden questions – in the latter half of each class, the lecturer will provide the students with one or two questions that are not given in the assignment questions. Students will be divided into small groups for discussion and they will then share their opinions with their classmates.

Students do not need to submit any written reports in the usual classes. They are only expected to share their opinions verbally to the class. However, students need to submit a final report in the last class. More details about the final report will be given in due course.
