Future of Work: Issues in Organizational Learning and Design

For over 100 years much of our economic activity was accomplished in bureaucratic organizations. Many theories of management and work design were developed for those settings. Today, economic activities are being reconfigured using new technologies such as online labor markets, crowdsourcing platforms, data, automation, and robotics. We will update and extend theories of management and work design, building from these original theories to explore how work and organizations are changing. Enrollment Limited. Prerequisite: 180.
