《111-1_GHRM501》Guest Speaker Session: Grace Lin - Organizational Theory with IB506 and GHRM501 Students

<p>Organizational procedures, structures, and processes are essential topics in IBMBA and GHRM MBA programs. That's why the subject of organization theory and management is such a bold milestone in many students’ period at NSYSU. This semester NSYSU arranged the guest lecture for this subject in Week 2 which means that the guest speaker, professor Grace Lin, took the opportunity to introduce the topic of ‘Introduction to Organization Theory’ to the student.</p>

<p>Professor Lin did an amazing job connecting with students including an interactive exercise of coming up to the board and asking students to express their current mindsets by drawing their custom emoji on the board (“How are you feeling today?”), as well as providing several short readings from real life with which students could further work and expand their ideas through the whole lecture. A very valuable part of the lecture was encouraging students to share their own experiences with their previous or current part-time jobs.</p>

<p>The lecture covered all necessary topics regarding introduction to organization theory starting from fundamental definitions and practices while going through the several diagrams depicting the composition of a company and emphasizing the importance of communication throughout the whole enterprise, which was also supported by a real-life example with follow-up questions. The range of topics was indeed wide - from theoretical principles to multinational perspectives and real-life examples from the professor's personal experience. The added value of the lecture was basing the whole speech on the reference literature assigned for the course so students can always find extra information about the discussed topics in the materials already provided.</p>

<p>At the end of the day, the students left with a deeper understanding of how the organization works and are certainly ready for further lectures that will follow based on this guest lecture. Therefore we’d like to once again express our gratitude to Professor Grace Lin for coming to NSYSU and sharing her views with the students.</p>
