Through experiential and reflective means, MORS majors will gain a broad perspective on organizational forms in various sectors (i.e., private, public, non-profit, cross-sectoral and hybrid). They will learn to think in an integrated, systemic, and strategic manner, and will gain skills in communication and coordination, stakeholder management, organizational politics, leadership, negotiations, and employee motivation and behavior. MORS graduates will be well-prepared to establish and lead organizations or organizational units; they will have further developed their abilities to empathize and to creatively conceive of productive approaches to dealing with challenges. Moreover, MORS students will learn about sustainability, as managers of all kinds of organizations need to understand sustainability challenges so that they can be prepared to lead their organizations in doing their part to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
