Brand managment

The most important first step in mastering the ideas and practices of organization design is to read for conceptual understanding. Galbraith's text is a seminal work in the field and an excellent place to start learning organization design. During the first five units of the course, you will be asked to write on each week's assigned readings in a reflective assignment paper. Writing these papers should take you a step further in thinking about, learning from, and applying the ideas covered in the readings.

The unit readings provide an introduction to organization design and cover Galbraith's star model. Your reflective paper assignment asks you to show your understanding of what you have read and to add your own thoughts and experiences. Completing this assignment will help you apply your new knowledge of organization design.
