(3) How does one make responsible decisions? What criteria or values are used to determine and justify one's actions? (4) Can responsibility be institutionalized? How far does a corporate responsibility approach go? (5) Can responsibility be delegated to the machine?

The third new MMM-module, run by Area-lecturer Dr. Moritz Motyka deals with the topic “Hybrid Organizing in Corporate and Nonprofit Management” (MAN 609). This seminar explores the intersection of corporate and nonprofit management through the lens of hybrid organizing. Hybrid organizations are increasingly prevalent in today's complex and interconnected world and are argued to exist in the for-profit as well as in the nonprofit and the public sector. They combine profit-driven and mission-oriented approaches (incl. social and environmental responsibilities). In this seminar, students will explore the complexities of blending such motives, and will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of hybrid organizing in diverse sectors. Through the examination of scientific papers, students will acquire a solid understanding of the fundamental features and principles of hybrid organizations. Participants will also gain insights into how hybrid organizing has evolved as a research field. In addition to the scientific perspective, the course will cover real-world examples of hybrid organizations and critically discuss their impact and potential challenges.
