Micropolitics, power, and negotiation are fundamental aspects in social interactions and organizational contexts. Micropolitics refers to the informal power relations and tactical actions that occur in an organization or group, while negotiations involve the process of exchange and agreement between different parties. Power plays a central role in this process as it influences the course of negotiations and the dynamics of micropolitics.
This course therefore combines theory and practice to help students recognize and successfully address micropolitics, conduct negotiations profitably, and build power. Students will gain insights into academic research and gain practical insights into seminar topics. Overall, you will participate in a variety of learning activities to enhance your knowledge and skills and put what you learn into action.
