这是一个针对在校学生、参与远距教学的校外学生与来自产业的专业人士所开设的模组化的课程。着重于经理人为有效因应以下挑战所应具备之技能：

• 工作性质与劳动人力的快速变迁。
• 企业组织内的变革、企业社会角色、与企业与员工和其他利害关系人的关系的争议。
• 有关企业与工作人员，特别是来自劳动力市场，社区与以家庭为中心的团体或组织间，以及与政府间互动关系的改变。

这些议题在今日的企业环境中，有许多的创新与争议。本课程将突显这些创新与争议，并讨论它们对当今与未来的经理人与企业领袖的影响。

本年度，我们将利用本课程内容，做为即将举办的史隆管理学院50周年大会中，一个定名为“未来企业组织与它的组成份子间关系”的学术研讨会预做准备。参与课程的部份成员将负责准备研讨会相关主题的书面报告，我们利用授课场合讨论这些议题、收集资料，以便完成此一文件。

本课程兼收在校学生、参与远距教学的校外学生与来自企业，参与特定单元的专业人士，其中有一个单元课程并将与同步推出此一课程的英国剑桥大学相连结。

This is a modular course designed for on-campus and distance learning among students and industry professionals. We focus on the skills managers need to adapt successfully to:

• The sweeping changes in the nature of work and the workforce.
• Changes occurring in business organizations, the debates about their roles in society, and their relationships with employees and other stakeholders.
• Changes in relations among institutions that interact with work, particularly labor market, community and family-centered groups and organizations and government.

There is a great deal of innovation and debate underway on these issues today. This course will surface these debates and innovations and discuss their implications for current and future managers and leaders.

This year we will use the course to prepare for a workshop session on the "Future Business Organizations and their Relations With Constituents" to be held at the Sloan School's 50th Anniversary Convocation. A group of us are responsible for preparing a paper on this topic. We will use our course modules as venues for discussing these issues, collecting data, and building a draft document as we go along.

The course will involve a mix of on-campus and off-campus students taking the course via distance learning, and professionals from a variety of organizations who will participate in specific modules of interest to them. One session will be linked to colleagues at Cambridge University in England where a parallel course is being offered.
