3 credits · Graduate

This course emphasizes the theory and history of management scholarship. Topics will focus broadly on organizations and theories around their formation, sustainability, and evolution. The course will endeavour to avoid particular silos of any singular discipline of management and organizations and strive to provide a holistic narrative on the nature of organizations and the humans that inhabit them. Specific topics may include organizational performance, strategy implementation, diversity/inclusion, innovation, organizational structure and culture, and change management. The course will also consider the implications of organization for ideas and practices in industry, government, and communities. FORMATS: Lecture | Seminar
