ODL-683 Good Work, Meaningful Work

4 semester credits
This course explores “good work” as the fulfillment of human potential rather than the fulfillment of performance expectations. It examines the social and economic implications of redesigning workplaces to draw on the contributions that people are inherently motivated to provide in the first place. It demonstrates that “meaningful work” can turn conventional economics on its head, as illustrated by the phenomena of wikinomics, the open source movement, and the growth of socially responsible business practices. Students will develop a picture of what “good, meaningful work” means to them personally.
Pre-requisites: ODL-669 , ODL-671  or ODL-672 .
Delivery Method: Online
Grading Default: Letter
