The OP Team Project
Organizational Processes (OP) is a core course for all 450+ first-year MIT Sloan MBA students. Because success in business often comes down to people, students in OP learn to look at organizations through three people-oriented “lenses” —structural design (division of labor, goals, incentives), political (resources, power, status), and cultural (beliefs, values, identities). Our goal is to develop effective leaders and managers who use all three lenses to analyze business situations and craft implementation plans.
A critical part of the course is analyzing a live case study with a real company. Over the semester, each team of six high-performing students analyzes a company’s strategic change initiative by talking to stakeholders and mapping the organization’s structure, politics, and culture.
