CBA G257 - High-Commitment Organizations

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Explores how organizations can be designed and run to create conditions of high commitment-and high performance. Most people would rather work and invest in organizations where employees care about what happens; i.e., they act more like owners and less like hired hands. Organizations show great variation in the extent to which they achieve this high commitment. The difference stems from the choices-e.g., in purpose, culture, rewards, structure-that companies make. Gives students the opportunity to experience the contrasting impacts of low- and high-commitment organizations, to understand the organizational factors that affect commitment, and to learn the organizational design choices that lead to high commitment
