Students will study the philosophical assumptions of different theories and gain an in-depth understanding of the relevance of ontology and epistemology for theorizing on and about organizations. the course is designed to socialize first and second year doctoral students with respect to the guiding scholarly norms of the business administration field in terms of understanding how to "read", critique, and utilize various theories of organization.

This course is closed for registration.
