Organizations & Markets Workshop
| Autumn 2005, Tuesdays 3:00-4:30 in Hyde Park Center, Room 3B | |||||||
This workshop focuses on the sociology of organizations, networks, and markets. A wide variety of topics are addressed, including how organizations operate, why they differ, how they emerge from prior organizations, how future growth depends on position in a structure of other organizations, and how people survive and thrive within organizations. Anyone interested in these topics is welcome to attend the workshop. Graduate student participation is strongly encouraged. To get to the workshop from the Social Science building, go past the Rockefeller Chapel to the Hyde Park Center (the new building for the GSB). The workshop room, 3B, is on the third floor, on the west side of the atrium. Whenever possible, papers are made available in advance of the workshop.
