ORST 105 PZ -Comparative Organizational Forms

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Comparative Organizational Forms & Structures This course engages the comparative method to study organizational forms and structures, as well as the organization cultures that emerge from them. We will use an art/media narrative form as the primary lens to engage comparative analysis of organizations; we will examine how they interact with each other, how actors behave within them resulting in unexpected patterns and outcomes; we will explicate their similarities, differences, and intersections; and we will attempt to develop contextual theories of organizational heterogeneity. We will also analyze how social change can inform organizational structures and forms, and vice versa.

Prerequisite(s): ORST 100 PZ or ORST 135 PZ. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.
