MOR 605: Research Methods in Organizational Behavior

PhD course (taught 2023–present)

A required doctoral seminar on how organizational knowledge is generated, this course guides students through the full research cycle—from choosing consequential questions and reviewing literature to theorizing, research design, and communicating scientific findings. Students evaluate qualitative and quantitative approaches, including experiments, surveys, archival research, interviews, ethnography, and case studies, while developing a multi-method research proposal and strengthening their ability to critique scholarship.

MOR 599: Adaptive Leadership: Navigating Complexity and Change

Master's course (taught 2026–present)

This experiential master’s course prepares students to lead when problems are complex, authority is fluid, and clear solutions are unavailable. Drawing on systems thinking, human-centered design, behavioral science, and AI, students learn to diagnose adaptive challenges, test practical interventions, lead across roles and boundaries, and refine their own leadership practice through simulations, cases, fieldwork, and reflection.

MOR 457: Adaptive Leadership for a Complex World

Undergraduate course (taught 2026–present)

An experiential course for undergraduates learning to lead when the path forward is uncertain. Adaptability and the future of work are central themes as students use systems thinking, design thinking, behavioral science, and AI to diagnose workplace friction, navigate shifting roles and power dynamics, and test practical interventions. Interactive simulations, case discussions, reflection, and a field-based team project build the judgment, flexibility, and self-awareness needed for complex organizational challenges.

BUAD 304: Organizational Behavior and Leadership

Undergraduate course (taught 2016–2025)

An undergraduate introduction to the human side of organizations and the practice of leadership. Students draw on evidence-based insights from organizational behavior to examine motivation, decision-making, power and influence, communication, conflict, negotiation, teams, diversity, culture, and change. Cases, experiential exercises, personal assessments, and a semester-long team project develop critical thinking, interpersonal effectiveness, and sound judgment for leading people in dynamic workplaces.
