SOC 1231 - INTERORGANIZATIONAL NETWORKS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Our lives are dominated by organizations. From birth to death we move in and out of them. We take their existence for granted yet their survival is not guaranteed. This course is concerned with how organizations survive, and particularly how they deal with an increasingly turbulent environment. A key survival strategy is to form links with other organizations to get or protect resources -- which also threatens their autonomy. The dynamics of these networks of ties form the core of the course. Social network analysis and real data sets will be used.
