PhD Seminar: Macro Organization Theory

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

This is a research seminar in Macro Organization Theory. It is intended for doctoral students who wish to learn the academic field and its current developments. It is also designed to help students learn to use the ideas of the field in research projects of their own design. We will focus on theoretically driven contemporary research, especially that originating in Sociology and appearing in the major journals of Sociology and Management. We will examine the major theoretical perspectives and their current applications. We will also examine some active topical areas. Organization theory has grown to be a massive area, with many applications in related areas. Our focus in the course will be on basic questions about the structure and functioning of organizations: What do organizations look like? How do organizations behave? Why? The main goal of the course is to familiarize you with dominant theoretical perspectives as well as several current research streams and debates; the readings were chosen accordingly. Note that this is different than giving you a list of "best papers."

When Offered Fall.
