DESCRIPTION
During this introductory course to organization theory we will start unpacking the theoretical tools with which you can understand what an organization is and how organizations function. We cover most fundamental concepts and topics in organization theory, such as decision making, innovation, and organizational change. In addition, we start building the academic skills that you increasingly need when your studies progress. Along the way, we go through various examples of organizations - like factories in the 19th century industrial England, contemporary prisons in the US, and the creative companies of the 21st century - to put flesh on the bones of organization theories. Though our focus is on general organization theories that can be applied across different organizational and national contexts, we explicitly discuss international business related theories such institutional theory.
