Opis

The diverse topics in this volume bring together developments in the field of organization studies. Although the approaches are by no means undifferentiated the articles share a commitment to a revitalized organizational analysis, an historically based analysis and one which attempts to understand the structure and impact of organizations in terms of the location of these organizations within structure of class and power.

Recenzje

‘The International Yearbook is a refreshing collection of modern, diverse and contentious articles aimed at stimulating the sociology of organizations into one of the key areas of sociological debate…The papers taunt, cajole and penetrate much of traditional theory’ David Wilson, Sociology, Vol 15, No. 3
