Over the last two decades the study of organizations and strategy has undergone a series of fundamental shifts in terms of theoretical frameworks, research methodologies and issues. The field has become much more 'pluralistic' in terms of theories and research agenda. This proliferation in theory and practice, reflect underlying changes taking place in organizational forms and institutional settings in which they are located. The focus of organization theory and strategy specializations is to map these shifts and to assess their implications for the various components of organizations - actors, practices and activities. In this vein courses and research is directed to explore the actors, their activities and the organization/community in which they are embedded. The program draws upon the resources of several disciplines within social sciences to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between society, its organisations and institutions. This approach promotes a research agenda that incorporates both micro and macro levels of analysis. Our graduates emerge with a strong foundation in organizational theory, strategy and sociology of work, thereby.
