Course Description

This course introduces the major theories of social influence in psychology and economics so that you may become a better decision architect and an effective leader. In this course we will learn why and under what conditions an individual?s thoughts and actions can be influenced by those around them. We will touch on related theoretical grounds in economics and in psychology but focus heavily on the empirical findings and how they can be applied. The primary goal of this course is to realize a detailed picture of the traditional and contemporary thinking on this topic as it is addressed in economics and in social psychology, and to have you apply the tools of influence from day one.

Class meetings include a mixture of lectures and exposition so that you can see and test some of the theories of social influence firsthand. Throughout the course, the emphasis is on understanding, as opposed to brute memorization of mathematical equations. You will gain an understanding of the basic theories and research findings and their application to the design of information systems, social computing, e-communities and to the everyday problems faced in management and leadership positions.
