This seminar introduces students to the major theoretical perspectives and issues studied in organizational theory (OT) research. OT is a set of approaches used to better understand how organizations form, survive and grow, interact with each other, recruit and process members, gain and manage resources and deal with problems both internal and external. OT is not a single theory, but rather a body of theories that sometimes compete in offering explanations for phenomena. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits.
