Overview
This course provides DBA students with a basic understanding of the major theoretical perspectives in organization behavior, organization theory and strategic organization.
The readings selected constitute either classics or near classics in the field or integrative works that summarize and critique those classics, and provide an overview of the most important conceptual insights in these fields rather than examples of the most recent studies. Students examine these theories and their applications with a critical eye to determine the conceptual and practical strengths and limitations of the material and its applicability to different administrative situations.
