SBWL Strategy & Organization

Since the winter term 2018/19 the Institute for Organization Design (IOD) offers the spezialisation (SBWL) „Strategy & Organization“.

The SBWL „Strategy & Organization“ consists of five courses, which help students understand how organizations can be designed and re-designed to achieve their strategic objectives and succeed over time.

The specialization provides an integrative understanding of Strategic Organization Design by emphasizing how corporate strategy needs to be aligned with an organization’s structure, processes, people, and the environment in which it competes. Students learn and discuss how managers can actively influence these design parameters.
The SBWL equips students with profound knowledge of the central strategic and organizational challenges and enhances their ability to analyze and critically evaluate strategic decisions and organizational implications.
