Organizational theory is a field of study that focuses on understanding how organizations function and how they can be managed effectively. It involves examining the structure, processes, and behavior of organizations in order to explain and predict their functioning. This field draws on concepts from sociology, psychology, economics, and management to provide insights into various aspects of organizational behavior, such as decision-making, communication, leadership, and conflict resolution. Researchers in organizational theory often seek to develop new models and frameworks to help organizations operate more efficiently and adapt to changes in their environment.
