Organizing & Organizations

This book provides a rich understanding of the complex world of organizations and the people that populate organizations. "Organizing & Organizations" not only presents classic themes to students but also introduces novel approaches and contemporary issues of modern organizations. A must read for students in social sciences, public administration and public management.

Would be useful for M level, but for Bsc professional practice it was too far removed from health and social care organisations that students work in, I found it difficult to use the material for this group, but will use it for the M level module re leadership.

A very accessible introduction to organisational theory.

Good text. May be a possible alternative to the current text. I liked it for it's practical applications.

This text is anything but conventional and in being so it offers students and lecturers an opportunity to look at management and organisation theory in a totally different way to what 'normal' texts would offer. It is accessible to the novice as well as being informative about the world of organisations.

The book takes a different view of Organizational Psychology than other texts reviewed. I find it much more attractive and insightful. It provides a more complex and thorough view of organisational phenomena that I believe is of great interest for the training of psychologists in this field.

For the Fda there is a unit on managing people, This is a really useful book for looking at different organisations and style of leadership and management

A thoughtful book - great for stimulating discussion in class; with some unexpected and largely ignored topics such as the impact and appropriateness of 'joking' and humour in the workplace.

We end up adopting the books by Marry Jo Hatch and Ann Cunliffe.
