Organization Analysis and Development: A Social Construction of Organizational BehaviourI. L. Mangham A volume of original contributions which fit within a broadly interactionist approach to the analysis and the development of organizations. It consists of chapters upon the nature of qualitative research, some aspects of theory construction, and a number of chapters looking in detail at notions such as improvisation, argument, rhetoric of participation, bureaucracy, and innovation. The book gives a provocative and stimulating slant on conduct in organizations and will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers in organizational behaviour and management studies. |
