Over the past two decades, organization studies has become increasingly pluralistic, with a series of highly charged debates across intellectual `divides'. It is these debates and their consequences for the current position and future development of organization studies that Rethinking Organization addresses. The first section reviews and evaluates the most significant theoretical developments of the last two decades, focusing in particular on the various ways in which `organization' has been conceptualized as the basis for organizational analyses. The second section examines a range of issues related to the major transformations in organizational forms currently occurring throughout advanced industrial societies. Final contributions outline a range of emergent new perspectives which not only present challenges both to the `old' and `new' orthodoxies of the field but also herald important new directions for its future development.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Michael Reed is an ordinary man in all respects. Average height, average looks (even though his wife tells him different) average intelligence - that's him, alright. Except that from the birth of his first son in 1984 to the birth of his youngest son in 2016 he has taken all of his children to the local library once every week for almost three decades. This makes him - far less average. He has read many thousands of books to them and all seven of his children look forward to bedtime because of the stories he would read to them. There's the thing: the good books were always read again and again and the bad ones only read once. So Michael Reed is an apt name, don't you think? He knows what children like to read and listen to. Hence his own series of short stories.

Rezensionen
`If you are re-thinking that you might re-write your notes on organization so that you may better represent them then I re-commend this is a really friendly place to start the project of re-modernization.' - The Occupational Psychologist
