Organizational Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania new article content ...

The program of Organizational Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania was created in response to a request by the U. S. National Science Foundation to fund a program that would connect a research university in a major metropolitan area with government and business. In 1977, Dr. Nancy Bauer, a historian and textbook author, established a program entitled “Interpreting America to Americans.” The purpose was to bring together research faculty who were creating new knowledge from across the Penn schools and working professionals - those in the public, private and government sectors - in order to discuss and learn about the newest ideas and practices rather than only what was already established and available in academic textbooks.

Organizational Dynamics is distinguished not only among peer Ivy League institutions but globally by its broad range of exceptional faculty and scholars drawn from more than a dozen academic domains and from leadership positions in professional practice. Through exchanges and critical evaluation of theory and practice, students and faculty develop and enhance their learning and teaching experiences, competencies, and creativity thereby increasing personal and professional value, effectiveness and satisfaction. Organizations that sponsor degree candidates benefit from the transfer of knowledge and practice to their environments.
