Organizational Politics

Instructor: Sylvia Flatt

Course Description: Organizations are political institutions that use power and influence to make decisions and implement initiatives. While organizational politics is often perceived negatively with many trying their best to avoid it and a few enjoying the political game, in essence we all have to manage an organization’s political environment. This course analyzes the inherent power dimension associated with politics as a means to navigate the subtleties of political situations and diagnose an organization’s political landscape by thinking and acting politically.
