There are sixteen modules that we have cover throughout the class but I will deliberate only five and how it will change my way of understanding the organization. The five modules that I will talk about are: Organizational Culture, Appreciating Individual Differences: Intelligence, Ability, Personality, Core Self-Evaluations, Attitudes, and Emotions, Motivation: needs, Job Design, and Satisfaction, Making Decisions, and the last will be Managing Conflict and Negotiating.
