Learning outcomes

Objectives of the course are:
(1) knowledge of the constituent elements of complex organizations belonging to the health services area;
(2) knowledge of the main methods and tools of organizational analysis that allow you to read the organization in its internal processes and relations with the context of reference;
(3) ability to contextualize the use of tools within organizational dynamics, with particular reference to those that characterize network organizational models;
(4) ability to identify the determining factors of organizational design.

Program

The program is divided into two parts.
The first deals with the specificities of the sociological reading of organizations, models and organizational variables, with particular reference to personal services.
In the second we analyze the main aspects of organizational design, with particular reference to the definition of individual positions and organizational units.
The student is also asked for an individual study of a lesson-related topic with reference to an organizational unit of service to the person.
The recommended basic texts, on which the final examination will relate respectively to the first and second parts of the content covered by the teaching, are:
G. Gosetti, M. La Rosa, Sociologia dei servizi. Elementi di organizzazione e programmazione, FrancoAngeli, Milano, 2006.
H. Mintzberg, La progettazione dell’organizzazione aziendale, il Mulino, Bologna, 1996 (Cap. I, II, III e X).
During the lessons the teacher will provide supplementary materials, especially in reference to data and results of sociological research needed to interpret the phenomena in progress.
As far as teaching methods are concerned, the lesson includes lessons, supplemented by case discussions, thematic analyzes (with presentation and discussion of data and findings from research paths, etc.), confronted with significant witnesses.
During the lessons there will be space for questions, to collectively discuss any doubts and curiosities, while specific clarifications and needs will be presented during the individual reception time.

Examination Methods

The examination takes place in oral form, with vote on a scale of thirty, and involves the verification of the knowledge and assessment of the student's abilities as set out in the training objectives.
