Description:

Begins by developing a paradigm perspective on the nature of scientific research and theory. From that platform, we examine seminal contributors to theories of organization and individual behavior in organizations with attention to both historical context and current approaches. Topics such as classical management theory; the human relations perspective; motivation, institutional theory; comparative organizational designs; change processes; the organizationalenvironment contingency, and systems perspectives; inter-organizational forms, organizational learning; organizational dysfunction and ethical perspectives are examined. Students take an active role in presenting and critiquing early and current theory and practice as well as relating theory and research to their own experience.
