Understanding Modern Business and Organisations

Viktor Dörfler

Topics Covered

An initial understanding of modern business and organisations.
Up-to-date concepts to shape understanding of the four major forces that shape the world of modern business and organisations: knowledge, technology, ethics and globalisation.
Trigger concepts to prompt changing mind about what accepted (up-to-date) knowledge is regarding the four major sources.
Upcoming concepts, developed in collaboration with the participants, to facilitate an open minded exploration of knowledge that is still being developed.
Part of the content is developed based on the interest of the participants using the ‘Ask Viktor’ feature.
Based on Henry Mintzberg, the phenomenon of the financial crisis is described as the crisis of management rather than the crisis of economics.
Knowledge acquired in the first five weeks is applied to make sense of the financial crisis, arguing for or against Mintzberg’s position through a chosen concept from each of the four major forces that shape the world of modern business and organisations.
