Images of Organization Upplaga 2

av Gareth Morgan
Images of Organization has already established itself as a classic that has influenced management thinking throughout the world. This Revised Edition takes Gareth Morgan's achievement one step further, providing the kind of organizational `radar' system needed to negotiate the demands of the twenty-first century. 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 the manager how to view the organization 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.
