Institution:

SUNY at Albany

Subject:

Description:

This course examines how individuals negotiate their relationships with organizations primarily as employees of organizations, but also as consumers of services offered by organizations. In the context of internal stakeholders, or employees of organizations, the course addresses topics such as organizational assimilation, identification, resistance, and the management of work and personal-life interrelationships, including the impact of new information and communication technologies. We will consider employing organizations as sources of identity, sites for entertainment and socializing, sites for enacting spirituality (broadly defined) and religion, sources of social relationships and support, and substitutes for different aspects of family (e.g., mentor-parents; co-worker spouses). Relationships of external stakeholders to organizations are also considered, focusing on consumers of health care services.?Only one of TCOM250Z and ACOM412/Z can be taken for credit. May not be taken by students with credit for topics courses, "The Individual and the Organization" and "Interacting with Organizations." Open to Honors College students onl
