The course aims to create an understanding of leadership, negotiation, and decision-making, with a focus on the individual leader and his or her actions. Both the development of different traditional perspectives on leadership and contemporary and critical perspectives are central to this course. The student should develop an understanding of the relationship between decision-making, negotiation strategies and how a leader is perceived. Ethics and power are important aspects in this course.
This course consists of four parts, and provides an introduction to theories of leadership. The first part focuses on how a leader is perceived, and examines contemporary perspectives and critical perspectives on leadership. The second part focuses on decision-making, starting with an examination of the decision-maker. Factors influencing decision-making (such as risk aversion and rationality) are also discussed during this part of the course. The third part focuses on negotiation, emphasizing relevant tasks, methods and skills. The three first parts include exercises, which help students practice and reflect on their own behaviour in regard to each area. The fourth part of the course focuses on the interaction between leadership, decision-making and negotiation.
Learning is supported by lectures, workshops, seminars and written as well as oral assignments. The course is given and examined in English.
