| Course content and structure |
|
Taking its point of departure in the theories presented in
‘Introduction to Organizational Sociolog’, the present course
emphasizes how we can apply familiar and new theoretical frameworks
to the analysis of specific organizations. In so doing, we put our
theories into context in order to discuss their analytical
strengths and weaknesses in different organizational
settings.
The course material involves a combination of theory and case
studies where the focus is very much on the application of
theory onto one or several cases. The case studies cover a wide
range of sectors, fields and concrete organizational settings.
Furthermore, they include a variety of methodological approaches to
organizational analysis.
