This course is for students who want to start their own business, manage a department or even a whole firm. In this course, we study operational risk and examine how control systems can guard against these risks. We examine how to establish controls that will provide reasonable assurance that the organization will achieve its overall goals (i.e., strategy) in an effective and efficient manner. We specifically focus on employee control; we will explore different ways to use the control system to motivate employee effort and to direct this effort towards organizational success. In the course, students extensively analyze and discuss cases of real organizations.

Professor Jasmijn Bol represents the international focus at the Freeman school. Born and raised in the Netherlands, Professor Bol has studied at universities in The Netherlands, Spain and in the U.S., and she consistently presents her research to communities across the globe. Professor Bol's research focuses on subjectivity in compensation contracting, and she has authored and co-authored several articles that have appeared in prestigious scholarly journals. She has also earned awards for her teaching and research.
