Description:

Students survey topics in the Sociology of Organizations. Students are challenged to think sociologically about the complexity of organizations and their evolving roles and responsibilities over time. Students begin by looking inward at the formal and informal structures of organizations before looking outward at how institutional and ecological influences impact organizational behaviour. Students are encouraged to think critically about the link between organizations and society.

The course can be taught together with SOCI 5306 Sociology of Organizations with undergraduate students being subject to different assignments and evaluation criteria than graduate students.
