I will agree with Bo that the list is biased ... The reading looks like macro OT without a sociological perspective… this leading me to say it is biased … Ithink question 1 ... the answer is a theory course ... neither tools or field (as I use the terms ... As to your questions, 2 and 3, I think they are interrelated ... a common theme is how the theories (most of them) frame and operationalize organizational logics and actions ... The perspective taken is largely assumes economic assumptions of “rationality” and static analytics … A gale of creative destruction is missing as is a more dynamic view of action … To its merit the list is very rich in levels and perspectives of classic static assumptions … North is a great start to appreciate the framing of economic theory to problems away from … Becker would be a great adds for their flavoring of extending classic economic model assumptions … March and Simon would be great addition of framing limits to rational logics and goal structures that give rise to organizations and how they evolve as the organization achieves inertia … Peter- a great read list … I will agree with Bo that the list is biased … The reading looks like macro OT without a sociological perspective… this leading me to say it is biased …

What I meant was that perhaps your reading list is biased. Just from looking at it briefly, however, it does seem that you have readings that would support both a foundational and application-based approach to NIE. Great course!

BTW, to clarify, I meant that these are questions students ask while they're taking the course, not before they've seen the readings! Sure, you can view the reading list here.

My guess is that this list would help your students (and you?) answer question 1-3.. Peter,
