Macro Organizational Behavior Seminar

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

This doctoral seminar is designed to provide you with an overview of major theoretical traditions in the field of macro-Organizational Behavior. We will examine the historical development of sociological theories of organizations and contemporary issues in macro organizational research. The readings are organized in a semi-chronological fashion – we start with older, established classics and move into more contemporary lines of work.  This course heavily emphasizes reading and analysis of primary source material. Students will be expected to lead a discussion class as well as submit a final written research proposal due at the end of the semester. The goal will be to convert our consumption of scholarship into production of robust research.

When Offered Fall.
