Welcome to Charles Booth's ORGSCIENCE Website!

Much new material added June 14th, 2002

The purpose of this site is to provide links and resources of interest to students and teachers of organizational science.  It is always under construction, so if you are interested in this stuff, check back frequently.

Most of the links relate to my main teaching interests, which concern research methods, issues in the philosophy of (social) science, disciplinary issues in organizational science, etc.

I have been fairly indiscriminate so the quality of some of the resources is patchy.  See this link on how to evaluate material on the WWW.  The content of this site reflects what is available on the web (or at least what I have been able to find).  It is not intended to substitute for a broad and intensive grounding in the organizational sciences achieved through reading original sources.

If you know of other material you feel should be included, or if you come across a broken link, please don't hesitate to let me know.  Please feel free to browse at will....

Please email me if you want to suggest any additions or send me any feedback.

I've also set up a discussion board to support the ORGSCIENCE webpages.  Please feel free to use this board in a number of ways:
~ as a guestbook
~ to pass comments or feedback on the ORGSCIENCE webpages
~ to ask questions about ORGSCIENCE material (although I can't claim expertise in all areas featured on the site!)
~ to answer questions other people have raised
~ to suggest additional relevant resources.

Your participation is very welcome.
