To be effective, organizations must be able to compete in complex and volatile business environments, and managers must be able to manage within complex and dynamic workplaces. The Management and Organizations Department at Stern offers courses on how organizations and their managers can best manage internal and external challenges. The content of our courses ranges from organization-wide topics such as competitive positioning, managing new technologies, and managing change, to the skills needed by individual managers, such as negotiating, working in teams, and effectively exercising influence.
The department’s faculty is comprised of experts in the fields of organizational behavior, organizational theory and strategic management. They have published widely on topics such as organizational learning, knowledge transfer, managerial risk taking, innovation, modular organizational designs, diversity, virtual work, acculturation of new employees, and employee commitment, identification, and initiative.
Consistent with Stern’s mission, we are committed to delivering the highest quality management education and to enhancing knowledge of business and management issues. The department has been ranked as one of the top ten management departments in the United States with respect to research productivity, and faculty have won numerous research awards and grants. Members of the department have also won several teaching awards and our core courses have been rated by students as among the best core courses at Stern. Department faculty hold a number of leadership positions in the school and in the Academy of Management and sit on the editorial boards of the field’s leading journals. We hope you find the department’s web site informative and useful.
