Content

The aim of this course is to explore different forms and exercises of power and counter-power within organizations from a communication perspective. The overall objective is to gain a deep understanding of how power is exercised, negotiated, and challenged within organizations, and how political processes operate there. An overview of theories of power in the social sciences will be provided, demonstrating how these theories have been applied in organizational communication studies.  

Evaluation methods

First Session
The assessment consists of a written exam with two parts:
theoretical questions, designed to assess students’ understanding of the key concepts, authors, and perspectives covered in the course;
a case study, requiring students to apply one or more analytical frameworks to identify and interpret power relations, mechanisms of domination, and forms of resistance at work in an organizational context.
Second Session
Assessment takes the form of an oral exam. The oral exam covers the same learning outcomes as the first-session exam and evaluates both mastery of theoretical perspectives and the ability to apply them in the analysis of an organizational situation.
About the Use of Artificial Intelligence
Any use of artificial intelligence must be explicitly stated and made clear in the work. Artificial intelligence may be used as a writing aid (spelling and grammar correction, translation of citations into other languages, and stylistic improvement). Under no circumstances should artificial intelligence be used to generate text or to analyze or synthesize scientific articles or books.
