LRNG 714 - Ethnography of Corporate Culture

Credits: 3
Corporate culture is not a simple byproduct of organizational charts and advertising images, but rather the web of meaning that endows organizational action with its deepest significance. Corporate cultures must be studied by ethnographic methods of “thick description.” After exploring conceptions of corporate culture, course examines exemplary ethnographies of various organizations, including those of different societies, to prepare students for their own ethnographic field work and writing.
