II. Public Management Block

In this module, participants learn about leadership and strategy. In particular, they will look into the role of leadership in the public sector and public scenario planning.  

In this module, the role of the public sector is explored. This involves historical developments as well political implications. The focus of this module is on autonomy and control of public sector organisations.

In this module, students briefly explore traditional methods for negotiating before examining in depth a more robust, quantitative method known as negotiation engineering. This method can be applied to a variety of contexts. Students are challenged to implement the methodology in a real-time simulation.

Conflicts are inevitable within and between organisations, regions and countries. This module therefore further examines proven methodologies for understanding causes of conflict and for mitigating and defusing escalations. It includes simulations and case study-based discussions.
