ANTH 5100 - Organizational Anthropology

3 hours

Anthropologists have developed numerous tools for analyzing culture and culture change. Many of these can be put to use in studying business organizations. This course is a look at business organizations from an anthropological point of view. Often an organization’s productivity or lack thereof is directly related to the degree to which its strategy and culture mesh. Methods used in anthropology can aid in defining the specific culture of an organization and in providing strategies for change within it. This course explores those anthropological tools that can be useful in increasing productivity in business organizations.

Prerequisite(s): None.
