We are happy to announce the excellent feedback we received on the “Organizational Behavior” (“OB”) course held in the 2019/2020 winter semester. 

The participating students were Bachelor’s degree students studying Information Systems, Applied Computer Science, Business Administration, Economics, and for the State-certified Teacher Training Course with professional profile Information Systems. 

Organizational Behavior (OB) is an interdisciplinary field of research that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and an [organizational] structure have on behaviour within organizations, in order to apply this knowledge to improve an organization’s effectiveness.  

The course comprised three main parts: self-paced learning (using e-learning modules), just-in-time teaching (in classroom) and tutorial sessions.  

Prof. Frederik Ahlemann presented the just-in-time lecture and Anna Khodijah, M.Sc. was in charge of the tutorial sessions. In addition to the lecture and tutorial, practitioners shared their knowledge and real-case experience related to the course content in two guest lectures.  

The course evaluation clarified that the students were very satisfied with the lecture and the tutorial sessions (the lecture scored 1,9 and the tutorial 1,3 on a scale where 1.0 represented the best possible result).  

Many of the participating students also achieved an overall examination grade of 2.0 or better. This was the case for 32% at the first examination date and 25% at the second examination date. 

We look forward to welcoming new groups of students to the next OB course during the 2020/2021 winter semester.
