Organization Theory (MPA 8002) develops the student’s reflective capacity to understand the similarities and differences in various formal and complex human organizations, the structures and dynamics of these organizations, as well as the theories of change applicable to such organizations. The materials analyzed in MPA 8002 challenge students to complicate their understandings about organizations and to critically assess their frames, metaphors, and theories of organizations as well as how these enhance or constrict their perceptions and evaluations of organizations and their functioning.
