Book excerpt: ABOUT THE EDITOR Stewart Clegg is Research Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney. He has published many books and has well over a hundred journal and other refereed publications, some of which have been Academy award-winning. 1997 receipient of the George R. Terry award of the American Academy of Management for the Handbook of Organization Studies (SAGE Publications 1996, co-edited with Cynthia Hardy and Walter Nord) for its 'outstanding contributions to the advancement of management knowledge'. Prof. Clegg is a Distinguished Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management and a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. This benchmark collection in organization studies is divided into eight volumes, organized into sixteen parts: § Volume One: Historical Perspectives and Emergent Tensions looks at the early history of organization theory, including the capitalist versus religious roots of modern organizations and the historically contested reasons for the emergence of modern organizations. It also addresses the emergent tensions in the field as it begins to become a specialist area of study. § Volume Two: The Foundations, presents formal theories of modern organizations, addressing the significant founding attempts to have an empirically based science of organizations, which built on the work of the German sociologist, Max Weber. This volume then addresses the landmark studies that began to build systematic foundations for Organization Theory based on empirical analysis, with the work of Stinchcombe, Hage, Perrow, Pugh and Blau. § Volume Three: Debating Contingency Theory, addresses the central theories of organization, beginning with Contingency Theory, an approach which has become the mainstream of organization theory scholarship, but which has also attracted criticisms from rival perspectives. Those involved in the debate include Silverman, Child, Mindlin and Aldrich, Donaldson, Pennings, and Powell. The second part of this volume, 'Technology, Size, Environment, Ecology and Organizational Form', considers seminal work that stressed specific contingencies as determinate factors in how organization structuring was addressed, involving the work of Trist and Bamforth, Hickson, Pugh and Pheysey, Child and Mansfield, Aldrich, Ford and Slocum. § Volume Four: Institutions and Economics, first addresses the distinct institutional approaches that were inspired by the work of Selznick on Weber, which had formed foundations forty years earlier. This volume includes work by Hirsch, Meyer and Rowan, DiMaggio, Powell, Ranson and Hinings, Granovetter, Scott and Suchman. The volume then considers economics, ownership and organizational forms, revealing attempts by the economics profession to address central organizational agencies in their theorizing, starting from Coase, and also Williamson, who was responsible for introducing 'organizational economics' and moving on to the work of Boisot, Ouchi, Fligstein Donaldson, and Barney and others. § Volume Five Political Relations and Arenas Part Nine Power and the Politics of Organizing Part Ten Inter-Organizational Collaboration and Alliances § Volume Six Discursive Subjects & Qualitative Research Part Eleven Discursive Subjects Part Twelve Researching Organizing Qualitatively § Volume Seven Symbols,Cultures, Aesthetics, Emotions and Sensemaking Part Thirteen Organizations understood through their Symbols and Cultures Part Fourteen Aesthetics, Emotions, Sensemaking and Identity in Organizations § Volume Eight Paradigms of Theory; Paradigms for Practice Part Fifteen Paradigms and Organization Studies Part Sixteen Paradigms for New Organization Forms (Provisional contents for Vols. 5 -8, subject to change)

Download or read book Power and Organizations written by Stewart R Clegg and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-06-29 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A marvelous addition to the literature on both organizations and power. It is well-grounded in the research on these topics and especially the wide-range of relevant theorizing... The book is terrific at bringing together theory, research and the world of organizations." - George Ritzer, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland "This book tirelessly illuminates the nooks and crannies of the power literature...taking readers on an audacious tour of power′s multiple conceptualizations and expressions." - Hugh Willmott, Diageo Professor of Management Studies, University of Cambridge "Clegg and his associates expose the power dynamics that lie at the heart of all political and organizational arenas, and in so doing, they shed light on the underbelly along with the creative potentialities in organizational life." -Joyce Rothschild, Professor of Sociology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University "Strange but true - most studies of organizational hierarchies downplay the issue of power or uncritically assume more is better, while ignoring its pernicious effects. Stewart Clegg, David Courpasson and Nelson Phillips set the record straight." - Joanne Martin, Merrill Professor of Organizational Behavior and, by courtesy, Sociology Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Stanford In this tour de force, Stewart Clegg, David Courpasson and Nelson Phillips provide a comprehensive account of power and organizations, unlocking power as the central relation of modern organizations and society. The authors present an excellent synthesis of organization, social and political theory to offer an overview of power and organizations that is historically informed, addresses current issues and is comprehensive in scope. Power and Organizations reviews the evolution of theories on power and organization, presenting not only the theorists who identify power as positive, but also dealing with the negativity of power and the real horror of which organizations are capable, which has thus far been underplayed in organization theory. At the core of organizational power projects are organizational elites, whose politics and projects are examined extensively in the book. The book concludes by examining the implications for organizations and their elites of the trends, tendencies, and theories considered in the course of the book. This book is required reading for graduate students and researchers in areas such as organizational, social and political theory.
Download or read book Creating New Knowledge in Management written by Ellen O'Connor and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating New Knowledge in Management rediscovers lost sources in the work of Mary Parker Follett and Chester Barnard, providing a foundation for management as a unique and coherent discipline. This book begins by explaining that research universities, and the management field in particular, have splintered into smaller and less related parts. It then recovers a lost tradition of integrating management and the humanities, exploring ways of building on this convention to advance the unique art and science of business. By way of Follett and Barnard's work, author Ellen S. O'Connor demonstrates how the shared values, purposes, and customs of management and the humanities can be used to build an enterprise that will help to meet the challenges of business today. Igniting approaches to management that build on humanistic traditions is the ultimate goal of this book. Therefore, the text ends with two experiments—one in the classroom and one with a business executive—that take up this call and offer a perspective on where management must go next.

Download or read book Democracy and Public Administration written by Richard C Box and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true measure of the successful practice of public service is its ability to remain faithful to the tenets of democratic society. This introductory text links the practice of public administration to the core concepts of American democracy. It covers the nuts and bolts of public administration in the context of "delivering democracy" in public service - providing what the public really wants as opposed to what self-serving bureaucracies may call for. Chapters in "Democracy and Public Administration" discuss the functional topics covered in other texts, but from the perspective of this democratic ideal. Each chapter is written by an expert in the area, and summarizes previous research in the area, presents the author's research and thought, and offers ways in which practitioners can apply the concepts discussed to their daily work.
