Groups, Technology and Organizational Effectiveness: A Proposed Graduate Program

9354995费希曼卡内基梅隆大学提出了一个创新的GRT项目，该项目关注群体和技术对组织效率的共同影响。随着组织中的主要工作单位继续从个人转移到群体，组织的有效性越来越依赖于群体导向的组织设计的有效使用。同时，新技术在组织中的扩展既增加了工作组形成和维持的机会，又对工作组的有效运作提出了新的挑战。组织科学家在未来为组织效能做出贡献的能力将取决于对群体、技术及其相互作用的理解。我们提出了一个形式创新的GRT项目。这是一个大学范围内的项目，由商学院、社会科学学院和公共管理学院的教师运营。这种结构将使学生接触到在基础和应用环境中研究小组和技术的一系列理论和方法方法。培训将是跨学科的。学生将有机会在新设计的实习和项目课程中连接理论和应用。＊＊＊

9354995 Fichman Carnegie Mellon University if proposing an innovative GRT program that focuses on the joint impact of groups and technology on organizational effectiveness. As the primary work unit in organizations continues to move from individuals to groups, organizational effectiveness increasingly depends on the effective use of group-oriented organizational designs. At the same time, the expansion of new technologies in organizations both enhances opportunities for the formation and maintenance of work groups and poses new challenges for effective work group functioning. The ability of organizational scientists to contribute the organizational effectiveness in the future will depend on an understanding of groups, technology, and their interaction. We propose a GRT program that is innovative in form. It is a university wide program, operated by faculty in the schools of business, social sciences, and public management. This structure will expose students to a range of theoretical and methological approaches to studying groups and technology in both basic and applied settings. Training will be interdisciplinary in nature. Students will have opportunities to bridge theory and application in newly designed internships and project courses. ***
