Course description:
In this course we deal with organising and organisations in general. We will discuss different theories, important aspects of organisations and application topics in high-performance sports.
Why should you be familiar with organisational theories?
It is useful to be familiar with theories of organisations as they can provide important concepts and approaches for analysing and improving organisations. Organisational theories deal with different aspects of organisations, such as structure, processes, culture and behaviour of individuals and groups in organisations. By understanding these theories, you can develop a deeper understanding of how organisations work and how they can be improved.
Here is an example: If you are a manager, for example, you can benefit from knowing about contingency theory. This theory states that there is no universal approach to leading organisations, but that the leadership style depends on various factors such as the size and structure of the organisation as well as the experience and personality of the employees. By understanding this theory, you can choose the right leadership style for your organisation and your team to improve their effectiveness and efficiency. (via Be-arly - ChatGPT)
