Description

"Organizing and Organizations" is well loved by students and lecturers for its accessible, conversational tone and insightful real-life examples introducing the study of organizations and organizational behaviour. Fineman, Gabriel and Sims, eminent academics in the field, cover a wealth of key concepts, research and literature leaving students informed and engaged. The Fourth Edition builds on the strengths of previous editions, to provide you with a textbook that continues to stand out from the rest. This new edition has been fully developed to include: new chapters on Influence and Power, and Innovation and Change; a new section within each chapter that highlights the theoretical links informing the chapters; new review questions to test and apply your understanding of the ideas in each chapter; new 'reading on' sections that direct you to free links to highly recommended journal articles relating to each chapter's coverage, and found on the companion website; and, new critical review questions at the end of each chapter to encourage debate. Each chapter is now enlivened with pictorial illustrations. It includes a fully updated glossary of key concepts in the study of organizations. "Organizing and Organizations" integrates a strong critical approach throughout.
