Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): MGMT 100 & MGMT 101. We are born in and spend much of our lives in organizations. From families to schools to athletic teams and jobs, organizations play a central role in our experience. And this is especially so as we pursue careers. Few of us have the luxury of working as a lone artist unfettered by an organization's demands and restrictions. At times we are grateful to organizations for their services and protection. At other times we hate them being unfeeling and inflexible bureaucracies. In this coures we shall examine how organizations are structured with a particular emphasis on businesses and not-for-profit organizations for which most of us will work. How can they be structured so that they are effective and efficient And how can we personally survive in them when they are less than we might want
