organizational science

Organizational science, drawing heavily from sociology and business management, is the multidisciplinary study of organizations. It seeks to understand how organizations are structured, how they perform, and why they survive. Key questions revolve around how internal structures and external environments shape organizational behavior and success.1

Sociology, as a broader social science, examines human societies, their interactions, and the processes of change. It analyzes how institutions, communities, and various social groups function, and how external forces influence individual behavior. Organizations are a fundamental focus within sociology, as they significantly shape human decisions and actions. Organizational analysis, a field within management science, specifically studies the processes common to all types of organizations, aiming to identify more effective management strategies.23
