SOC 345 - How Organizations Work: Internship


Organizations structure much of our lives from birth (in hospitals) to education (in schools) to employment (in government, corporate, academic, or nonprofit) to death. They record our existence and track our spending habits. Understanding how organizations work is central to understanding modern society. We will explore: organizational structure and process, including leadership, power, decision-making and communication; organizational culture; policies, and the diversification and globalization of contemporary organizations. The course is infused with questions around the operations of race, class and gender in contemporary organizations.
