Es un curso impartido por profesores experimentados y de prestigio con un contenido que da una idea general y bastante completa para poder iniciarse en el mundo de las organizaciones internacionales. El curso en general está bien estructurado y explicado. También hay lecturas adicionales interesantes en todos los temas.

En lo referente a la gestión propiamente dicha, hacen una explicación superficial, pero precisa y con muchas lecturas y ayuda para que uno pueda profundizar. Evidentemente, no es suficiente para gestionar una organización internacional, pero da las ideas generales y herramientas para poder iniciar el camino..

Tengo un MBA dirigido hacia las empresas y con este curso me han dado un enfoque hacia las IOs. Me ha parecido muy interesante y recomendable para el que quiera trabajar en este tipo de organizaciones.

Le doy las gracias y enhorabuena a la universidad de Ginebra y a todos los profesores del curso.

Un saludo,

I hope, I will use all my learning in my work and I believe, it is a values addition to my professional career.

an informative beginner course for international management and provides one with knowledge of the inner workings of the United Nations and equips them with basic management skills that can be catered to both private sector and public organizations. The instructors are incredible and I learnt many insightful things. There should be an advance version of this course delving more in depth and of more duration which could be considered as an advanced MBA.

It was very interesting and useful course. Professor Claudia Gonzalez and her team have explained things in very simple and easy to understand way. no doubt I have learned a lot through this course.

Thanks Coursera for giving me opportunity and such wonderful platform to learn and enhance academic and professional skills.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who seeks to have a well rounded background understanding of IOs management. The course content, video aided instructional materials and the the instructors' delivery surpassed my expectations. I am amazed that this offering is FREE!

Las exposiciones fueron claras, concisas y ricas en información asi como en analisis. Los materiales fueron practicos y oportunos. El curso abarcó mas temas de lo que esperaba y tenían un enfoque global e international.

It's an amazing journey with you all. Starting with the introduction by Julian Fleet to the last beautifully taken by Claudia and Cassandra. Thanks a lot. This indeed was an insightful one. Thank you

This is beyond doubt that International Organization Management is five star class and I am proud to complete through coursera.

I AM VERY HAPPY TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE & I WHOLEHEARTEDLY THANK COURSERA & INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS MANAGEMENT.

🙂🙂

Excellent course in content and in delivery!

The course was productive. I learned and now understand the work behind International Organizations. BUT, I had a lot of trouble downloading and printing the PDF. Also, I feel like it is just a regular genetic piece of paper with no real value on it. Specially after the time and energy I put on this course. Once finally downloaded, I actually had to screenshot and crop the gray background and the "Cours record... Share hard work with..." bar above the PDF! Which was very frustrating. After all the hard work, I wish Coursera sent something more significative. I asked for help and the person did not help me at all. That is the only thing I and complaining g about.

I found the course to have a quite unbalanced focus jumping from very general information (history of the UN) to very hands-on issues (creation of marketing plan).

It has been an intensive and interesting few weeks of learning about International Organizations. I have learnt more about the United Nations (UN) and its specialize agencies such as the International labour Organization (ILO), World Health Organization (WHO), etc. I have leant about the structure of the UN, the member countries, its objective for being and how it carries out its various functions.

The shifting context of International Organizations was discussed extensively in relation to hierachies and networks as these also relate to current global challenges such as trade, climate change and internet governance.

The course further dicussed how the Secretary General can create space through strategic alignment and the submissions of two key Management Specialists were reviewed - Michael Porter and John Kotter. The example of Dag Hammrskjold, the second Secretary General of the UN was elaborated upon as a good example of someone who intervened and successfully createdd space during a very trying period and between two powers, China and the US.

I appreciated the topic on Private Public Partnerships (PPP), the drivers such as complex societal challenges, restricted resources and reach of market. The risks were also highlighted such as governance structure potential conflicts of interest and asymteric power relations and lack of transparency. Further thought was given on Partenership Life Cyle and Operational Model from the preparation, Implementation and reveiw and renewal phases.

In preparing a PPP, it is important to have shared vision and purpose, time and capacity, internal support capacity and a welcoming culture.

Finally, the role of marketing and fundraising for international organizations was discussed. The need for build a marketing plan, to manage the Brand which is the IO's identity, the brand process and in fundraising, build a case for support.

i appreciated the emphasis on the government managed IOs because it enabled me to visualize the challenges of bringing nations with different authorizing environments together to collaborate and build a future of sustainable goals that would positively impact billions of people. For profit organizations, the objectives are very clear and concise. There may be deviations but it would not differ too far from the core organizational goals.

However, this course has enabled me to have a better appreciation for the effort it takes for many international organizations to continuously work together with civil societies, governments and businesses to achieve goals.

First of all is to say thank you coursera community and Geneva University for bring to us these valuable skills to where we are!

The course is designed in a very specific and concised format for the fact that it touches all the areas necessary for young manager of a local organization to grow well.

I was motivated to learn this course because I initiated a community led organization in Kakuma Refugee camp called " ThinkWithMe" in short TWM and it website is " thinkwithme-education.org" voluntarly implemeting foreign langue acquisition to adult, young peole and backing up primary and secondary formal education and other related projects are pending because of luck of suports.

It is my request and a cry i am lancing to the two partners to help me serve the community here in the camp since theirs skills are fruictful.

Thank you .

I wanted to express my gratitude for the opportunity to take this course. Throughout my learning journey, I have gained invaluable insights into the complex world of international organizations. This course has broadened my horizons fostering a deeper understanding of the vital role these organizations play in addressing global issues. This knowledge has not only enriched me as a student but also instilled in me a profound sense of responsibility to contribute positively to our interconnected world. I am truly grateful for this transformative experience. Someday, I hope to work at UN or in any international organization.

The course on 'International Organizations Management' offered by the 'University of Geneva' through 'Coursera' is indeed a great course for gaining wonderful insights of the 'International Organizations'. The course touches upon some very important and crucial aspects. The structure of this course in indeed great, but what makes this course awesome is its Faculties. All the faculties in the course are wonderful. They articulate the thoughts so nicely, that the course becomes so easy and interesting. I would really like to thank all the Professors and the whole team of the course. Kudos to you All!

I recently completed the International Organization Management course, and I can confidently say it was an incredibly rewarding experience. The course exceeded my expectations by providing both a solid foundation in the principles of managing international organizations and practical tools that I can apply to real-world scenarios. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in international management or global affairs. It has broadened my perspective and equipped me with valuable skills that I’ll carry forward in my career. THANK YOU

Very interesting course. All the professors and lecturers were excellent in their presentations. The course material is relevant to the topic of the course. The course load needs more than 6 weeks to complete comfortably. Some parts could be given in two weeks rather than one week. The readings are well chosen, but some of them need more time to cover than the time alloted in the course. The management of the online course is successful and easy to handle for students. The followup encourages students to put an extra effort and gives them incentives to complete the course.

Very stimulating, educative and simple lecture format. I have learned a lot from this course practically than any other course or program of international relations/politics that I have undertaken. The course syllabus and content are relatable to the job descriptions at the United Nations that I have so far explored. Highly recommend for anyone looking to work in any international organization beyond the UNs itself. Thanks to the faculty members who have steered us throughout the course.

Excelente inducción e inmersión al mundo de los Organismos Internacionales. Los temas elegidos son extremadamente apropiados y adecuadamente ordenados para el aprendizaje. El staff encargado de impartir las lecturas es de muy alto nivel e incentivan a quienes cursamos el programa a involucrarnos en la misión de los Organismos Internacionales. Ginebra es la capital del multilateralismo y la Universidad de Ginebra es el centro adecuado para profesionalizarnos en este tan importante asunto.

It has been a very educative course which has helped to widen my knowledge about the United nations and other international organisations and their management,

I have also gained a lot of skills during the course and I'm very ready to use them to add value to any organisation that I might be given the opportunity to manage,

I also wish to thank the university of Geneva and all the staff for wonderful they have put together in making this course most especially to the lecturers

Thanks!

It is a fascinating tool to explore International Organizations, mainly using knowledge from multiple areas of study to explore critical concepts necessary to understand the management of a non-profit organization better. It's great to get you started with a good foundation for further exploration of ideas or topics that you find interesting or important. Now, some of the links for reading are outdated, but apart from that, it is a fantastic course. Thank you so much!

The course is very rich and very resourcful in terms of knowledge as well as very helpful in helping to understand what is all about International Organizations and all what is involved in the management.

I am very glad and grateful that I am now equiped with this very vital knowledge and this will not be my last time to take such course as it will help me deepen my career in the International Organizations mangement as well as project management.

Thank you

I found this course extremely interesting. I've learned a lot of new things with each lesson, which helped me gain a better and deeper understanding of how international organizations work and of all the elements included in the discourse around them. The lecturers were all well-prepared, and the material provided was interesting. I highly recommend this course to those who want to deepen their knowledge of international organizations and their management!
