Course Description:
An exploration of the origins and growth of the basic types of formal organizations. Particular attention is given to the historical appearance of patterns of human action and the creation of organizations to maximize their effectiveness, the development of property rights and their adaptation to changing conditions, and practices and procedures devised to deal with limited information and uncertainty. There will be numerous case studies of the creation and performance of formal organizations such as financial markets and rules for land usage. This course is central to the Formal Organizations minor and strongly recommended for those anticipating completing the minor. |
