Course Objective

To explain how management and organization theories and terms have developed through the years in the historical process. To establish the relationships between scientific information and application about management topics.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Gain a detailed understanding of the emergence, importance, foundations, focus, and level of analysis of the scientific field of Organization Theory, which emerged in the 1950s.
2   Learn about the chronological development and classification of Organization Theory. This includes functionalist and structural-functionalist approaches, economic organization theories, open system natural organization models, interpretive approach, critical theory, and postmodern approach.
3   Understand the reflections of essential paradigm shifts in natural sciences, such as Newtonian mechanics, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and developments in Quantum Physics on Organization Theories.
4   Develop the ability to examine organizations and managerial issues from different perspectives and solve problems using relevant tools.
5   Evaluate organizational theories according to levels of analysis (individual, group, organization, inter-organizational, and organizational communities). This will enable you to address issues and phenomena from a managerial perspective.
6   Evaluate organizational theories in the light of metaphors developed by Gareth Morgan, such as machine, organism, brain, culture, political system, spiritual prison, flow and transformation, and instruments of domination.
