Sociology 793D - S-Organizational Theory

This course is an introduction to the major theoretical approaches and ongoing debates within organization theory. Organization theory draws on disciplinary roots in economics, political science, psychology, and sociology to explain the origins, persistence, and disappearance of the institutional structures that order economic life. We will read classic and contemporary statements of the major approaches and trace the history of ideas as the field has developed up to the present.

Open to Graduate students only.
