MG - 502 Organizational Analysis and Design

Credits: 3

An introduction to open systems theory and other approaches useful for the nature, operation, and effectiveness of purposive organizations. Emphasized topics will include organization structure, the relationship between structure and process, intra- and inter-organizational dynamics, and environmental influences. Students will be expected to develop an analytical framework for analysis and design, and to apply it to a substantive organization with which they have more than superficial familiarity.
