Author Description

"This edition of Organizing and Organizations builds on the success of the first, conveying the 'lived experience' of being and working in organizations. The authors introduced students to key concepts, research and literature in organizational behaviour and analysis. This updated edition has additional features to meet the needs of today's students. These include: new chapters that take account of the latest research in the field, including an analysis of diversity, management learning, the natural environment, the relation between work and consumption; a new 'Reading On' section at the end of each chapter; and an updated and enlarged thesaurus of over 150 concepts, with references to current literature and research." "Throughout the text the authors have maintained their informal tone, making the book accessible to students at all levels. Organizing and Organizations will continue to be used as an introductory text for students of organizational behaviour, organization theory and the psychology and sociology of organizations."--Jacket.
