| THIS COURSE AIMS AT GIVING STUDENTS THE MAIN THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ORGANIZATIONS. THE COURSE IS COMPOSED BY 60 HOURS FOR STUDENTS OF SOCIOLOGY AND 40 HOURS FOR THE ONES OF SCIENCES OF ADMINISTRATION AND ORGANIZATIONS (SAO). THE COURSE ASPIRES TO GIVE STUDENTS A DEEP KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND HOW ORGANIZATIONS OPERATE AND TO ANALYSE THEM EMPIRICALLY, APPLYING IN COMPLETE AUTONOMY AND CRITICALLY THE LEARNED THEORIES AND METHODOLOGIES. DURING THE LECTURES STUDENTS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO IMPROVE THEIR CAPACITY TO COMMUNICATE SCIENTIFIC CONTENTS BY DISCUSSIONS ON ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES AND EMPIRICAL CASES. THE COURSE WILL STIMULATE STUDENTS’ LEARNING SKILLS THROUGH THE READING OF NOT ONLY HANDBOOKS BUT ALSO TEXTS WRITTEN BY ORGANIZATIONAL SCHOLARS AND THROUGH THE CRITICAL DISCUSSION ON THESE CONTENTS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE STUDENTS SHOULD ACHIEVE AN IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGIC APPROACHES; THEY SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND SCIENTIFIC PAPERS AND MONOGRAPHS ON ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPARE DIFFERENT THEORIES ON SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| STUDENTS SHOULD ALREADY HAVE STRENGTHENED SOCIOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE, IN GENERAL SOCIOLOGY (SOCIOLOGY, AND SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES), IN ECONOMIC AND LABOUR SOCIOLOGY (INDUSTRIAL, ECONOMIC AND LABOUR SOCIOLOGY) AND IN METHODOLOGY (METHODOLOGY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES). |

THE SECOND PART IS ORGANIZED WITH SEMINAR ACTIVITIES IN ORDER TO DEVELOP SCIENTIFIC CONTENTS AND TO STIMULATE STUDENTS’ PARTICIPATION AND LEARNING ABILITY: STUDENTS SHOULD READ SCIENTIFIC TEXTS AND DISCUSS. THE ATTENDEES ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND LESSONS AND TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE TO THE SEMINAR DISCUSSIONS DURING THE SECOND PART. THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL TOPICS ENABLE STUDENT TO REACH A COMPREHENSIVE GRASP OF ORGANIZATIONAL STUDIES. |
| Verification of learning | |

THE EXAM AIMS AT VERIFYING THE STUDENTS’ ABILITY TO EXPLAIN THE MAIN THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND TO DISCUSS ON COURSE’S CONTENTS. THE EVALUATION OF STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE IS BASED ON THEIR CAPABILITY TO ELABORATE IN AUTONOMY THE THEORETICAL CONTENTS ILLUSTRATED DURING THE COURSE OR THROUGH TEXTS READING, MAKING ALSO EMPIRICAL EXAMPLES, AND ON THEIR ABILITY TO COMPARE DIFFERENT THEORIES ON SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES. |
