<概要/Course Content Summary>

 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course examines macro-organizational theory and research from the classics up to the present. Primary attention will be given to the content domains, presuppositions, core propositions, chains of reasoning that underlie a body of organizational scholarship. However, theory is grasped not only in the weighty tomes of pure theorists but also in the empirical research traditions designed to determine the veracity or falsity of theoretical ideas.We will also pay attention to the research methods employed in organizational research, for any assessment of the findings or theoretical implications of research cannot be divorced from the methods used to gather and analyze data. Moreover, some influential programs of macro-organizational theory and research have evolved new and distinctive methodological techniques: network analysis and organizational ecology come to mind. 
 Although we will certainly devote significant class time to critiques of particularly significant articles and books, my view is that Ph.D. students in organizational theory should acquire some familiarity with very broad literatures over a considerable span of time. Consequently, a lot of material will at least be discussed. The study of organizations is a field where substantial traditions of theory and research grow up, dominate inquiry for a time, then fade away. To some this is a troublesome symptom of the pre-paradigmatic state of organizational science. Closer examination, however, reveals that, while research methodologies come and go as do conceptual frames and scholarly vocabularies, the range of truly distinct questions and issues posed by organizational study is relatively small.

 Once the student has seen this for her or himself, a much deeper grasp of particular traditions and the field as a whole may be had.

<成績評価基準/Evaluation Criteria>

Paper  60%  Students will write a term paper (maximum 10 pages). The paper will be a research prospectus.From the set of theory/research topics given below, you are to identify a research problem and design an empirical study which addresses it. Although your design can and should build upon previous research in the area, originality will be an important criterion on which papers will be evaluated. 
Participation  25%  Students are also expected to have read the required material by the assigned date and to participate actively in class discussions. Participation includes careful reading of assigned materials before the date they are discussed in class, posing of thoughtful questions and problems relating to the topics, and critical, analytical comments. 
Presentation  15%  Students are expected to make a 20 minute presentation on their term paper topic in the last (14th) class session. 

 
 
COURSE FORMAT: This is a seminar, and it cannot succeed without the full and active participation of all members. However, as we will be reviewing more literature each week than students can reasonably be asked to read, I will at the outset of each class session give a quasi-lecture on the topic area and identify key issues and perspectives.
