**The Anatomy of a (Business) Fall: Understanding Real-Life Business Cases Through Organizational Behavior**

Have you ever read about a business scandal and wondered: How did nobody stop this? Why did smart people make obviously bad decisions? Why did entire organizations stay silent when warning signs were everywhere?
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the field of management that studies how people think, decide, interact, and behave within organizations. By combining insights from psychology, sociology, and management, OB helps explain why organizations succeed or fail, not because of technology or strategy alone, but because of human behavior.
In this module, each week revolves around a real business case that is reconstructed, analyzed, and explained through the lens of Organizational Behavior. From NASA engineers whose warnings were ignored, to a bank that opened millions of unauthorized customer accounts, to a billion-dollar company that never had a working product, each case illustrates how individual decisions, team dynamics, leadership, and organizational culture shape organizational outcomes.
Core concepts, including motivation, leadership, group dynamics, decision-making, power, communication, and organizational culture, are introduced and illustrated through real-world business cases.
