“Anything we do today, from producing personal computers to providing sanctuary for the abused, requires organizations and people to manage them.”
Message
MBA students around the world share an enthusiasm for learning, growing, being challenged, and for developing as managers. To participate in that enthusiasm and address the issues of management are what bring a first-rate faculty to Atkinson.
Implicit in our curriculum is the premise that organizations are human instruments created and maintained to perform society's work. Virtually anything we do today, from producing personal computers to providing sanctuary for the abused, requires organizations and people to manage them.
The organizational analysis curriculum concerns the human element of management: why people behave the way they do, what organizational forms are better under what circumstances, how change and conflict can be managed with the least cost and the greatest benefit to all concerned, and how human values affect and are affected by organizations and their managers.
