This course is an in-depth study of social power as it occurs in the workplace. The course is conducted in the hybrid format and addresses both the theoretical and applied perspectives. Course coverage includes topics such as individual self-analysis of power use, sources of power, metamorphic effects of power, power building and utilization skills and the role of powerful people in the workplace. In MG520, students are exposed to the importance of social power in the corporate setting, with specific focus on the skills required for enhancing organizational and personal success. Such awareness arises from both a conceptual and applied perspective. Students who complete MG520 successfully, are more aware of their personal power and its use, are more confident about ways to use power and generally are more powerful at work. |
