Principais avaliações do DESIGNING THE ORGANIZATION
Good course, but I had a lot of trouble interacting with the app. It would not let me post comments or questions which was a bit frustrating. Going off the app and through the website now!
Not only does it cover organizational design and structures, but is more holistic and discusses the external environment, innovation, and disruptors.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course, as it helped me understand the corporate world better and how organizations are designed. I found it explained the company I work for very well.
I really learnt many useful things and skills by this course. Really thanks your Coursera team for giving us this chance to complete our education while sitting at home. THANKS!
