Inhalt: Over the last two decades, the horizon of possible forms of organizing has significantly widened. For instance, think of open source communities, hacker collectives, terrorist networks, or crowd-based organizing. According to many scholars, the established theoretical vocabularies of organization studies fail to keep up with these developments. Some of them even argue that organization theory is currently in a stage of crisis. This seminar will critically examine this diagnosis and explore how new forms of organizing enable us to rethink organization. It will first familiarize students with classical theories of organization as a social actor and a distinct mode of coordination. From this vantage point, we will deep-dive into contemporary, state-of-the art research that challenges established ways of thinking about organization. A special focus point of the seminar is on how new and globally available digital technologies change the ways we manage and organize. Students will benefit from deepening their understanding of what can constitute (an) organization, from sparking new ideas for alternative forms of organizing entrepreneurial ventures, and for sharpening their critical-reflective mindset for various future career paths (as managers, organizers, consultants, entrepreneurs, academic scholars, etc.).
