Skills to be acquired in this module
After completing this module, students will know central theoretical approaches of the study of organisations in the social sciences. They have an overview of central characteristics of organisations and will be able to assess current trends in organisational practice and research. They will be able to understand organisations as collective systems in which actors interact with each other and their environment. Students analyse collective action and collective decision making within and between organisations. They apply organisation theory to current events and learn to integrate it in their own research projects.
