Future of Work

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This integrative course is designed for advanced MBA students to develop an understanding of the drivers changing the nature of work, jobs, management, and leadership, explore the primary dimensions reshaping work and careers, and to prepare students to lead large organizations and startups with an understanding of these new dynamics.This is an integrative course designed to link and apply core management disciplines (organization, technology, supply chain, HR, marketing, strategy, finance and operations) with the complexities leaders face redesigning and re-imaging work, employing new workforce ecosystem models, and rethinking workplaces, collaboration and virtual work. Topics will include the changing nature of work with special attention on human-machine teams, the expanding nature of the workforce including the growth and challenges of the open talent economy (and the combination of on balance sheet employees and the alternative employment models), and the evolving nature of workplace arrangements with a focus on remote, hybrid workplaces strategies and the impact of digital and virtual reality. In exploring the impact on leadership, the course will consider the changing nature of careers (including the longevity dividend, the multi-generation workforce, and the challenges of life-long learning and re-invention); the dynamics of organizational strategies shifting beyond hierarchical (bureaucratic and administrative models) to networks, teams, and platforms; the opportunity to expand leadership and management models from a focus on direction and control to teaming, development, social dynamics and design. The course will conclude with consideration of how these changes impact individual workers, business and organization managers, and an introduction to public policy implications. The course will include a combination of lecture, discussions with detailed class cases, and guest lecturers to explore these topics.
