Abstract

This course offers an in-depth exploration of the major theories of organizations and the firm, articulating their historical foundations, epistemological assumptions, and contemporary managerial implications. It traces the evolution of the main paradigms—classical and rationalist, human relations, contingency, systems, environmental, and neo-institutional—through to critical and culturalist approaches. Particular attention is devoted to theories of the firm (transaction cost theory, agency theory, the resource-based view, and dynamic capabilities) and their contemporary extensions. The course brings into dialogue foundational authors and recent developments in order to demonstrate that organizational theories constitute complementary analytical frameworks rather than competing ones. The analysis is conducted from an applied perspective, with particular reference to the health and medico-social sector, where tensions between rationalization, professionalization, and institutional legitimacy are especially salient. The pedagogical objective is twofold: to provide students with a structured theoretical foundation and to develop their critical capacity to mobilize these frameworks in analyzing complex organizational situations.
