Items related to Organizing and Organizations: An Introduction
Synopsis
This major textbook in organizational behaviour does what most other textbooks in the field do not: it captures and conveys the `lived experience′ of being and working in organizations while also introducing students to key concepts, research and literature in organizational analysis.
The book is in two main parts. The first explores the processes of organizing through a series of chapters each based on a different facet of organizational life. Theoretical concepts and practical implications are woven into an engrossing and accessible narrative which draws on a large number of first-hand accounts by members of organizations.
The second part of the book, comprising a substantial thesaurus/dictionary, defines and discusses in more detail over 150 of the terms and concepts introduced in the first part. A table connecting the chapters with established categories and concepts in organizational behaviour is also included.
