Abstract

A management and organizational behavior class designed as a new paradigm (sociotechnical) organization expands the classroom-as-organization (CAO) model. Groups of students take different administrative roles and teaching responsibilities. Helped by a detailed manual, students manage, teach, and evaluate their peers. An elaborate control (grading) system makes this learning organization effective. Rank-order peer grading eliminates tests. Conflict occurs, but eventually students, like members of an autonomous work group, learn to manage responsibly. The professor delegates most tasks and becomes a coach but must contend with the college grading system and teaching colleagues unaccustomed to rank-order peer evaluation.
