Course Description
This course integrates strategy and organization through abstract thinking—what psychologists call metacognition.  You will gain both big-picture scope and nitty-gritty tools for organizational analysis, planning, and change.  You will learn how to speed-read the literature on strategy, organization, leadership, management, and the like—because so much of it is derivative and redundant.  Old wine in new bottles.  At the core of DYNM 6420 are five “cognitive plays,” or geometries of thinking: point, linear, curvilinear, angular, and triangular.  Each play has its time and place.  The challenge is to mix and match appropriately.  Playbook shows how.
