Description
The goal of the Behavior Lab is to provide students with experiences that help them connect their knowledge of human behavior to real-world challenges and organizational problems. All IE Bachelors have a different perspective on why people do what they do; we encourage applications from all students to create multi-disciplinary teams.
Objectives
Apply different lenses to human behavior to understand issues and propose solutions to innovative businesses and organizations.
Understanding the motivations and social identity of different groups, the student team will provide a fresh perspective to embedded ways of thinking and doing.
Using different people analytics tools, students will examine the effectiveness of different practices implemented by the client organization to provide recommendations.
By understanding how people learn in different ways, students will support the creation of development plans for teams, organizations and communities.
