Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course explores the ways in which organisations can be designed (by management or others) in order to achieve their objectives. It will expose you to the ways in which economists, psychologists and sociologists address this and related issues. It is, therefore, an interdisciplinary course, comparing and contrasting the contribution of the core social science disciplines to the study of organisations. The course draws upon both theoretical and empirical materials and you will be encouraged to draw upon your own local knowledge in pursuing your studies. There will be an emphasis (though not exclusively) on organisations set up with an economic objective.
