This course will introduce some of the seminal thinkers in management and related fields. The object of the seminar is to broaden your views of organizations, organizational life and the way organizations function. The course will be cross-disciplinary, drawing on readings about organizational form, contingent structure, founding and imprinting, institutionalization, cooperation, culture, power, politics and resource dependency, routines and procedures, organizational learning and social capital. Students will be encouraged to relate these readings to their own work or internship experiences.
B169A will be offered in the fall of 2007. The seminar meets on Wednesday from 12::00 to 14:45.
