Synopsis
Employing a strategic/systems approach to the subject, this book begins by examining the organization's outside environment and the way that organizations develop systems to link up with and understand this environment. It goes on to study information management and strategy formulation, goals, design and structure. The text ends with an analysis of the more dynamic aspects of modern organization theory, such as culture, conflict, power, authority, politics and change.

From the Back Cover
The Sixth Edition of Organization Theory: A Strategic Approach continues to present a balance of theory, research, and practice. Theory and research are necessary to provide coherence, certainty, and predictability in an otherwise incoherent, uncertain, and unpredictable world. However, in presenting theory and research, we maintain a belief that theory and research should provide practical value to the inhabitants of organizations―the managers and members of organizations. To accomplish this balance, we have provided numerous examples from organizations to illustrate the theories, concepts, and research findings throughout the text.
