Riassunto

`An excellent introductory text for students as it provides concise and well-written coverage of the main concepts in organizational behaviour. The combination of case studies and discussion of theoretical issues is well structured and provides the reader with a good framework for further reading' - Leadership and Organization Development Journal This long awaited Second Edition of Organizing & Organizations builds on the success of the first edition, this ground-breaking text conveys the `lived experience' of being and working in organizations, while at the same time introducing students to key concepts, research and literature in organizational analysis. The Second Edition includes additional chapters which take account of new research in the field, an analysis of diversity, the environment, and the relation between production and consumption. Each chapter ends with a `Reading On' section and there is a fully updated thesaurus. Throughout the authors use the informal tone that makes the book so accessible to students.
