| Summary |
"Organization and Management: A Critical Text goes beyond the descriptive and managerial accounts of organizational behaviour (OB). It offers a more critical and reflective text which contextualizes and criticizes conventional wisdom and attempts to re-orient the field by offering alternative approaches to the study of OB." "The authors take account of historical developments and key issues and ideas in their social, political, economic and global context. Areas examined include labour process issues, gender and other identities, flexibility and globalization. More recent post-structuralist and post-modern approaches are also explored." "Organization and Management: A Critical Text covers a broad range of subjects in an accessible style, takes a critical approach to organizational behavior, offers a summary review and critique of key issues in the field, and surveys recent developments in organization studies." "Ideal for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students doing courses on organizational behavior, HRM, industrial relations, and the sociology of work and organizations as part of their Business Studies, Management or Sociology degrees."--BOOK JACKET.how today |
