Organizational Behavior
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR A concentration in organizational behavior offers opportunities within a variety of disciplines. In OB, students learn about how organizations and individuals behave. In order to affect the practice of management and leadership, students gain skills to analyze the individual, the group, the organization, and the environmental context, and recognize the crucial interactions across all four domains. By using a range of innovative methods in the teaching and practicing of OB, the goal is to understand how to begin to recognize and improve the performance of organizations and individuals. Joint coursework with other business areas increases an understanding of organizations and areas within organizations from multiple perspectives. Popular dual concentrations could include management and information systems, strategy & innovation, and international management. Additionally, many students also seek minors outside of Questrom and interest can range based on the area most interested in. For all available minors, please visit the Boston University programs website found here. For more information on required courses please visit HERE POPULAR CAREER PATHS A concentration in Organizational Behavior prepares you for a variety of career paths that typically require individuals to possess a thorough understanding of the complexities of business environments. Some careers require working as part of the managerial staff to resolve organizational issues, solve complex business problems as a management consultant, or relate to employees as a human resources professional. Seek experiences or projects in which you perform tasks such as evaluating applicants, working as part of a team, presenting, selling, teaching, supervising, managing databases and organizing large amounts of paperwork and/or on-line documents.

The first is client demand for business outcomes at speed. While not exclusive to change management, this force is focusing providers’ attention on how to execute change that achieves measurable impact and value, while building an organizational change capability. There are implications for each phase of the consulting process (discover-design-deliver) whether the client issue is specific to a discrete change challenge or an enterprise transformation. The second force is the increasing influence of social business models in organization design. As companies transition from vertically-integrated hierarchies to networked ecosystems, a social system for change becomes both relevant and critical.
