The Sociology Major: As Preparation for Careers in Business and Organizations A Valuable Preparation Prospects for the BA/BS Sociology Major The Employer's Perspective Prospects for the MA/PhD Sociology Graduate Sociological Roles Relating to Business, Industry, and Work Further Reading Prospects for the BA/BS Sociology Major Students who graduate with a B.A. or B.S. in sociology and enter the job market directly will find themselves competing with other liberal arts students, but with an advantage knowledge of key social factors and a firm grasp on research design and methods. This advantage of the B.A. sociology program provides breadth and the potential for adaptability. Although few occupations include "sociologist" in their title at the bachelor's level, the sociological perspective is excellent preparation for a wide variety of occupations. You should look for an entry-level job, gain experience through internships, and watch for opportunities of specialized training or advanced education. If you are approaching graduation (or have recently graduated) and are seeking a job in the business world, focus on general areas of interest that motivate you. Sociology majors who are interested in organizational theory gravitate toward organizational planning, development, and training. Those who study the sociology of work and occupations may pursue careers in human resources management (personnel) and industrial relations. Students who especially enjoy research design, statistics, and data analysis seek positions in marketing, public relations, and organizational research. Courses in economic and political sociology, cultural diversity, racial and ethnic relations, and social conflict can lead to positions in international business.

F LORIDA A TLANTIC U NIVERSITY A Member of the State University System of Florida A Career Guide for the Sociology Major What holds some groups of people together and pulls others apart? Sociologists seek answers to these and other key questions facing our increasingly complex social order. As scientists, sociologists explore social order and disorder in areas ranging from art to war, from the shaping of an individual's attitudes to the development of a group's basic values, and from the structure of families to the nature of bureaucracy. Sociology is a holistic science that studies the nature, origin, and development of human society and communal life. Research is a basic activity of the sociologist. Sociologists use their research to provide insights that aid us in understanding the different ways in which individuals and groups make decisions, exercise power or respond to change. To explain the varying conditions of life, sociologists have to look at society in various ways; as a network of individuals in interaction, as a series of interlocking games, and as a complex system of relationships. No aspect of behavior in society, however routine and trivial it may appear, is without meaning and importance to the sociologist, who seeks explanations that can be directed toward the improvement of human conditions The following Interests and Aptitudes/Qualities are associated with or needed for success in the study of this major.

MAX WEBER MAX WEBER: Basic Terms (The Fundamental Concepts of Sociology) Definitions of Sociology and Social action: Sociology is a science which attempts the interpretive understanding of social action to arrive at a casual explanation of its course and effects. Sociology seeks to formulate type concepts and generalized uniformities of empirical processes. (History, on the other hand, is interested in the causal analysis of particular events, actions or personalities.) Action is human behavior to which the acting individual attaches subjective meaning. It can be overt or inward and subjective. Action is social when, by virtue of the subjective meaning attached to it by the acting individual(s), it takes account of the behavior of others and is thereby guided. Social action may be oriented to past, present, or predicted future behavior of others. Others may be concrete people or indefinite pluralities. Not all action is social: if it ain't oriented to the behavior of others, it ain't social. Also, it is not merely action participated in by a bunch of people (crowd action) or action influenced by or imitative of others. Action can be causally determined by the behavior of others, while still not necessarily being meaningfully determined by the action of others. If I do what you do because it's fashionable, or traditional, or leads to social distinction, its meaningful. Obviously the lines are blurred (pp 113-114), but it's important to make a conceptional distinction.

Bureaucracy and Formal Organizations Characteristics of Bureaucracy - Max Weber, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft , part III, chap. 6, pp. 650-78. Weber's Description of Bureaucracy - Weber's interest in the nature of power and authority, as well as his pervasive preoccupation with modern trends of rationalization, led him to concern himself with the operation of modern large-scale enterprises in the political, administrative, and economic realm. Bureaucratic coordination of activities, he argued, is the distinctive mark of the modern era. Bureaucracies are organized according to rational principles. American Sociological Association American Sociological Association - Sections Listings - Sections are constituent parts of the American Sociological Association. The purpose of Sections is to promote the common interest of Association members in specified areas of sociology. Both the growth of membership in the Association and proliferation of specialties in sociology have brought about a need for Sections; they are a means of increasing communication and interaction among persons of similar interests within the framework of a larger organizations. International Sociological Association - international society founded in 1949 to advance sociological knowledge throughout the world.

Sociology 250 October 14, 1999 Rationalization and Bureaucracy A. Rationalization Rationalization as an ideal type and as an historical force appears in much of Weber's writings. He regards the development of rational forms to be one of the most important characteristics of the development of Western society and capitalism. Weber viewed traditional and charismatic forms as irrational, or at least non-rational. The latter may rely on religion, magic, or the supernatural as a way of explaining the social world and authority may also derive from these. These may have no systematic form of development, but may rely on personal insight, revelation, emotions and feelings, features that are non-rational in form. In contrast, rationality consists of a set of social actions governed by reason or reasoning, calculation, plus rational pursuit of one's interests. Rationality forms a large part of rational-legal authority and there are several characteristics that Weber considers as aspects of rationality (Ritzer, pp. 124-125). Actions in the economic sphere or in formal organizations such as universities have most of these characteristics and many of these can be taken as examples of rationality. Calculability . Results can be calculated or estimated by adopting assumptions and considering the methods by which results will be achieved. This is especially the case in formal institutions or in businesses Efficiency . Actors have various ends and attempt to find the best means to achieving these ends.

New Bureaucracy Origins of The New Bureaucracy ASI conference, Utrecht. S Y L LAB U S ASI-leergang "SOFTWARE-CRISIS" 30 september en 1 oktober 1982 [For more details on the conference, go to bottom.] THE NEW BUREAUCRACY Ivor Catt St, Albans ENGLAND August 1982 Abstract. Three anti-technology forces in society are now coming together and uniting under the banner of software in their rearguard battle against the rising power of technology and the technocracy. These forces are, first, the bureaucracy; second, management; and third, the pure scientist. What is the nature of the relationship between the manager and the technocrat? Do they, hand in hand, mutually trusting, mutually supporting, venture bravely into a prosperous future? Does the manager never doubt his technocrat's loyalty? Does the technocrat never doubt his manager's loyalty? My twenty years experience in ten companies in Britain and the U.S.A. indicates that there is deep hostility and fear between manager and technocrat. Currently the manager holds the upper hand and fights a nervous rearguard action against the rising technocrat. In the early days, a factory was owned by the man who managed it, controlled it and understood all the details of its operation. Later in the industrial revolution, business and industry became larger and more complex, and the owners began to lose detailed knowledge of their operation. The introduction of the joint stock limited liability company allowed ownership to be fully divorced from understanding. A professional managerial class developed which knew all the details and was therefore able to make the crucial decisions.

Bureaucratic Organizations Soc 0310 Course Description "Red tape" ... "You can't fight city hall" ... "climbing the corporate ladder" ... "suits" ... "clients" ... "the bottom line is the bottom line" .... We live in bureaucracies which penetrate every aspect of our existences. We are citizens, employees, une mployed, students, teachers, clerks, patients, customers, drivers, subscribers, debtors, prisoners, etc. All of these terms can be said to describe social roles that connect us to formal organizations. In this course we will explore the nature of formal or bureaucratic organizations. We will look at bureaucracy and bureaucratic processes in five interrelated areas (see Hummel's Preface): socially, culturally, psychologically, linguistically, and most im portantly, as a political system a system of power. Let's very briefly develop some working assumptions from these five areas. A bureaucracy imposes, and is characterized by, certain types of social relationships typically a hierarchical system of authority as well as horizontal coordination of tasks. Bureaucracies imply "bureaucratic culture" that is, norms, values, beliefs, knowledge, and even morality that are typically bureaucratic.
