Institutions and Change, and the Art of Making a New Theory
Course goals
have learnt how to deal with a problem which may have seemed too difficult at first sight;
have improved your capacity to think independently and be creative; know what are the elements of a good theory, and which methods can be used to construct a theory;
have formulated a theory concerning the prevalence of different types of organizations in different sectors of society and/or different periods of time – without consulting scientific literature (except those approved by the teacher);
possibly have learnt a number of other things, depending on the reactions of the teacher and students to the unpredictable way in which the group(s) dealt with formulating a theory.
