Organizations & Markets Workshop

Spring 2006, Tuesdays 3:00-4:30 in Hyde Park Center, Room 3B
Spring Quarter Schedule: April 4 to June 6, 2006

This workshop focuses on the sociology of organizations, networks and markets. We address a wide variety of topics, including how organizations operate, why they differ, how they emerge from prior organizations, how future growth depends on position in a structure of other organizations, and how people survive and thrive as a function of their position in social organization.

Anyone interested in these topics is welcome to attend the workshop. Graduate student participation is strongly encouraged. Please contact Damon Phillips with any questions, or to request a short appointment with a speaker: damon.phillips@gsb.uchicago.edu
