For each of the theorists, the following questions should guide the discussion and paper:
1. Did the theorists life experience influence his/her theoretical approach to organizations? How?
2. What are the main points of the theory?
3. Thinking about your own experience with organizations, how does the theory square with your understanding of organizational life? Give specific examples of congruencies and incongruences with what you’ve experienced.
4. Finally, does the theory have any relevance to you personally in your organizational life – does it suggest ways of being a good subordinate, colleague, boss? Or does it suggest the opposite; what not to do as exemplified in some of the managers in The Ethics of Dissent.
