Module II - SPS / 09 - 3 CFU - 20 hours of frontal teaching

Presentation of the teaching
Given the complexity of contemporary organizational contexts, increasingly characterized by network structures with high organizational and technological complexity, the advanced Sociology of Organizations module intends to dwell in particular on the thrusts introduced by the whirling digital innovation process.
In continuity with the basic course of Sociology of the organization (6 - CFU Prof. Cocozza), which presents the theoretical frame of reference of the sociological organizational disciplines and the new organizational models that tend to increasingly recognize the person as a strategic lever of development, the advanced module focuses in particular on the complex relationship between organization, technological transformations and society with the intent to understand the implications for organizations and for work.
The advanced module looks at organizations and at work in the information and knowledge society which stands out, as suggested by Castells, for its being: informational, global and reticular.

The module aims to offer students in addition to the necessary theoretical framework of reference also the possibility of measuring themselves against a working methodology that increasingly requires subjects to be active and decisive carriers of conditions of tumultuous change and uncertainty that characterizes modern organizations in the global scenario. For this reason the laboratory pridilegie the active and dialogical methodology where the students themselves become protagonists of the "discovery"; useful methodology to develop communicative, relational and reflexive competences, today fundamental for living and working in a complex society.
The course therefore includes thematic in-depth studies through individual and / or group project work. Also through remote sharing through collaborative work environments to promote in students the development of transversal, organizational and communicative skills, useful and necessary to move in complex organizations of our times.

Targets
Through these activities, students will be able to achieve the following educational objectives:
• recognize the importance of information and knowledge as a strategic lever for innovation for the organization
• recognize the most current issues related to the development of knowledge organizations in the global context
• understand the implications of technological transformations for organizations, work and society;
• understanding the way in which the digital revolution is transforming the socio-economic system also with regard to future scenarios;

At the end of the course the student who has successfully followed the study and the proposed activities will be able to:
• select, process, organize and share information and knowledge through remote collaboration environments
• organize individual in-depth work
• organize and communicate effectively the results of his observations
