Entrepreneurship, Orgs & Soc 349RG - Sociology of Organizations

Sociology of Organizations introduces concepts of institution, organization, network, role and system. These ideas are at the heart of the classical sociological enterprise. They open up questions of social scale and social context by drawing attention to the level of action between individuals and abstract global systems. Using case studies, students will engage the question of ethical action in a complex world marked by competing rationalities. Using resources from class readings, students will be asked to research an organization of which they are a member to develop their own case study.

Prereq: SOCI-123.
