In this module, we’ve learned about organizational theories. We will continue thinking about Rutgers as a case study of an organization; universities are complex, but various theories may help us understand how they function.
For this week’s discussion board:
Explore the structure of Rutgers as a university by looking through the Rutgers website. What are the main administrative and managerial offices? What are the components of the university? Describe how you see the university functioning.
Apply one of the theories you learned about this week to your discussion of the structure and organization of Rutgers. You may need to explore further into the Rutgers website.
How does this theory help you understand the functioning of the university and expand on your initial ideas? What other information did you need to look for? Was there any trouble you were having looking for information and why?
