Elke Schüßler teamed up with Leonhard Dobusch from the University of Innsbruck to get innovative themselves: they designed an open access course for master programs in management and organization studies that would be available for use for everyone faced with the same challenge of rapidly moving teaching online.
In terms of contents, they compiled a set of lectures and assignments around different facets of crisis management and organizing in crisis, combining basic organization theoretical knowledge on decision making, leadership, bureaucracy, digital and open organizing or inequality in organizations with the current Covid19 crisis.
