An examination of the structure of organizations, management and decision making within organizations. The text spans Max Weber's seminal writings to modern management represented by T.J Peters and R.H.Waterman.
From the Back Cover: We live in a highly organizational world. As citizens, consumers, clients, customers or, perhaps most significantly, as employers or employees, we depend on formal organizations. How do such organizations work and why do people within them behave the way they do?
The invaluable book provides the answers. Covering such areas as organization structure and environment, management and decision-making, people, change and learning, it brings together the selected writings of leading authorities on the cutting edge of the thinking, practice and research of organization theory - from Max Weber's seminal writings on bureaucratic organization to the latest management thinking. Now in its fifth edition, Organization Theory has been thoroughly revised and brought right up to date to include contributions by writers who have had a profound impact on the subject: Michel Foucault's influential examination of discipline and control, Stewart Clegg's anticipation of working relationships based on networking rather than hierarchy, Kathleen Eisenhardt's report on strategic decision-making in high-velocity business environments and Lex Donaldson's discussion of organizational adaptation to achieve better performance.
Together with its companion volume Writers on Organizations by Derek S. Pugh and David J. Hickson, Organization Theory is an indispensable resource for student and manager alike.
