Management, Psychology & Leadership

Understand and design complex decision-making processes

Leaders and decision makers rely on the ability to adopt different perspectives and combine current findings from the vast range of disciplines available. The Management, Psychology & Leadership program provides a philosophical and human sciences approach to economic issues. It is designed to expand the participants’ awareness of economic psychology aspects that are relevant to management. It further points out how they relate to the interaction with other people, organizations, and markets. An atmosphere of intellectual curiosity helps participants gain new insights and build a strong foundation to develop a sense of self-efficacy and achieve professional success.

Participants in this course learn how to take conscious and purposeful action in accordance with the overall strategy in an environment usually described as complex, chaotic, and indefinite. Individual reflection or reflection in pairs and groups give them the opportunity to reassess personal experiences and profit from the experiences of others. This also enables them to combine previous insights in a meaningful way.

Upon completion of the Certificate in Management, Psychology & Leadership program you will

  • understand the basic principles of information economics and their implications for the psychology of markets,
