Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
Goals:
This course considers the building blocks of organizational
theory and analysis as an academic discipline. The course is
designed to introduce students to fundamental questions and
approaches to the study of organizations. The purpose of the course
is to provide students with a thorough grounding in the ‘classic’
social science literature on organizations and to enable them to
apply the central concepts to an analysis of empirical
evidence and cases
|
