Management of social and human capital

People are the most valuable asset of any business, but they are also the most unpredictable and most difficult asset to manage. And while managing people well is critical to the health of any organization, most managers do not receive the training they need to make good management decisions. Now, award-winning authors and renowned management professors Mike Useem and Peter Cappelli of the Wharton School have developed this course to introduce you to the key elements of managing people. Based on a popular course at Wharton, this course will teach you how to motivate individual performance and design reward systems, how to design jobs and organize work for high performance, how to make good and timely management decisions, and how to design and change the architecture of your organization. By the end of this course, you will have the skills you need to begin motivating, organizing, and rewarding the people in your organization so that you can thrive as a business and as a social organization.
