Images of Organization Upplaga 2
`Morgan... has given us both a retrospect on the development of views of organizations, and a prospect on how organizations and their development may be viewed now and in the future. To help the reader, Morgan provides, in the final chapter, the evidence and theory base for his views.... a powerful stimulus for critical examination of organizations, their development and structural management. Educational psychologists with an interest in the influence of organizations... and not already familiar with it, will find this book very accessible and helpful in formulating views of how their current `pet' organization might be viewed' - Educational Psychology in Practice Images of Organization has already established itself as a classic that has influenced management thinking throughout the world. This New Edition takes Gareth Morgan's achievement one step further, providing a rich and comprehensive resource for exploring the complexity of modern organizations.
In this monumental work, leading-edge theory is translated into leading-edge practice.
The New Edition carefully preserves the qualities and strengths of the original, while delivering new insights on today's managerial challenges. Morgan shows managers how to view their organizations by using his renowned creative images and metaphors.
In a sequence of path-breaking chapters, he demonstrates how to mobilize the insights of different metaphors: to manage and design organizations in new ways; to develop novel understandings of the relationships between organization and environment; to create learning organizations with the intelligence of a living brain; to explore the intricacies of corporate culture and politics of organizational life; to understand the unconscious dimensions of organization; to translate the implications of the new science of chaos and complexity into practical management strategies; and to confront and deal with the negative impacts that organizations often have on society and the natural world.
No other management book covers so much ground while developing the implications for management with such force.
