Download or read book Funktionen und Folgen formaler Organisation written by Niklas Luhmann and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zweifellos hat sich in diesem sich rasch entwickelnden Fachgebiet in dreißig Jahren viel geändert. Auch wenn man den laufenden Wechsel von Selbstempfehlungsmethoden der Managementsberatungsliteratur außer Acht läßt, ist die Organisationswissenschaft heute nicht mehr dieselbe wie die des Jahres 1964. Das muß aber nicht heißen, daß bestimmte Forschungsperspektiven widerlegt oder auf andere Weise obsolet geworden sind ..." Aus dem Epilog zur 4. Auflage Seit seinem Erscheinen 1964 hat die Publikation den Rang einer der wichtigsten neueren deutschsprachigen Veröffentlichungen auf dem Gebiet der Organisationssoziologie erlangt. Als Kompendium moderner sozialwissenschaftlich orientierter Organisationslehre sind die "Funktionen und Folgen formaler Organisation" in den Kanon aufgenommen worden. Damit ist der Versuch, eine Grundlegung der modernen, interdisziplinären Organisationstheorie zu schaffen, wie das nach wie vor starke Interesse belegt, gelungen. Die unveränderte Neuauflage dieses Werkes ist aber auch gerechtfertigt angesichts der noch immer gültigen Zielsetzung einer einheitlichen, integrierenden Theorie. Ungebrochene Aktualität bezieht der Titel darüber hinaus aus dem Zusammenführen von Systemtheorie und Entscheidungstheorie und dem Versuch, von da aus sowohl die informalen Seiten innerhalb der Systeme als auch die Abweichungen von Vorstellungen rationalen Entscheidens in den Blick zu bekommen. Das Buch ist eine permanente Aufforderung zur Diskussion - für Soziologen, Organisationstheoretiker und Verwaltungspraktiker.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sociology Social Theory and Organization Studies written by Paul S. Adler and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociology and social theory has always been a major source of new perspectives for organization studies. Access to a series of authoritative accounts of theorists and research themes in sociology and social theory which have influenced developments in organization studies is essential for those wishing to deepen and extend their knowledge of the intersection of sociology and organization studies. This goal is achieved by drawing on a group of internationally renowned scholars committed in their own work to strengthening these links and asking them to provide critical accounts of particular theorists and research themes which have straddled this divide. This volume aims to strengthen ties between organization studies and contemporary sociological work at a time when there are increasing institutional barriers to such cooperation, potentially generating a myopia that constricts new developments. Used in conjunction with its companion volume, The Oxford Handbook of Sociology and Organization Studies: Classical foundations, the reader is provided with a comprehensive account of the productive and critical interaction between sociology and organization studies over many decades. Highly international in scope, theorists and themes are drawn from both the USA and Europe in equal measure. Similarly the authors of the chapters are drawn from both sides of the Atlantic. The result is a series of chapters on individuals and key research themes and debates which will provide faculty and post graduate researchers with appreciative, authoritative and critical accounts that can be drawn on to design courses or provided guided reading to the field

Download or read book Organisation of Banking Regulation written by Alexander Wellerdt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the interaction of banking regulators and discusses with it related legal and economic challenges. First, the importance of administrative organisations for the implementation of regulatory law towards banks and financial institutions is shown. On this basis five model types of administrative organisations in the field of banking regulation are derived. Thereby, banking regulators can be classified due to their influence on regulatory decisions. Their influence runs from preparation across enforcement to control of regulatory decisions. In particular, the cooperation of the European Central Bank with national banking regulators is analysed. Finally, the main legal and economic arguments of Banking Regulation in the Economic and Monetary Union are discussed.

Download or read book Luhmanns systemfunktionaler Ansatz Schule als formale Organisation written by Ulrike Triebel and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Allgemeines und Theorierichtungen, Note: 2,0, Technische Universität Dresden (Institut für Soziologie), Veranstaltung: Luhmann-Lektüren: Ausgewählte Texte zur Gesellschaftstheorie Niklas Luhmanns, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der deutsche Soziologe NIKLAS LUHMANN beschäftigt sich in seinem 1964 erstmals erschienen Frühwerk „Funktionen und Folgen formaler Organisation“ mit dem Wesen formalisierter Sozialsysteme. Er entwickelt einen ganz eigenen theoretischen Zugang, in welchem er die Grundannahmen der traditionellen Organisationswissenschaft in Frage stellt. Organisation erschließt sich bei Luhmann nicht über Menschen, sondern über Kommunikationsstrukturen. Auf der Basisannahme, dass menschliches Handeln nicht auf Individuen oder absolute Werte zurückführbar ist, analysiert er unter der ihm eigenen Systemperspektive. Mit der Formalisierung wird ein besonders hohes Maß an Systemstabilität erzeugt. Dennoch sind Organisationen keine technischen Apparate, sondern auf menschlichen Kommunikationen beruhend. Die Formalität bietet nur Rahmen und Grenzen, als Orientierungsgrundlage für das menschliche Handeln und bestimmt somit die Leistungsfähigkeit des Systems, die innere Ordnung nach außen „relativ invariant“ zu halten. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, auszugsweise anhand des praktischen Beispiels der Schule als eine formale Organisation, LUHMANNs Grundgedanken zu den funktionalen Zusammenhängen formaler und informaler Systemleistungen nachzugehen. Dabei soll vor allem ein analytischer Aspekt besondere Berücksichtigung finden, welcher seinem Werk innerhalb der Organisationswissenschaft wegweisende Bedeutung gab. Formalisierte Sozialordnungen weisen neben „besonders herausgehobenen formalen Erwartungen“ als Grundlage der Organisation eine Vielzahl faktischer Verhaltensweisen auf, die sich Ersteren nicht zuordnen lassen. So entspricht die faktische Verhaltensstruktur innerhalb formaler Systeme ganz wesentlich auch informalen Erwartungen. Am Gedanken des Systemerhalts orientiert, wird speziell der Frage nachgegangen, welche Bedeutung diesen, in der formalen Erwartungsstruktur nicht ausdrücklich festgeschriebenen, informalen Erwartungsstrukturen am Beispiel der Organisation Schule und ausführlicher an der Position des Lehrers zukommt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf den Ausarbeitungen der oben benannten Monographie. Damit orientieren sich theoretische Aussagen und Definitionen am entsprechenden zeitlichen Entwicklungsstand LUHMANNs Theorie.

Download or read book Max Weber and the sociology of organization written by Philipp Jakobs and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's organizational sociology, organizations are usually regarded as late achievements of modernity in the history of mankind. Max Weber is repeatedly cited as the supposed guarantor of this thesis. But neither his type of "bureaucratic rule" nor his concept of "rational work organization" - although both are tailored to modern conditions - contain, on closer inspection, compelling arguments for a principled limitation of organizations as such to modernity. Both actually reach their depth of focus only in contrast to "pre-modern" forms of organization. A sociology of organization that wants to refer to Max Weber's work while avoiding the numerous common misunderstandings of its reception must broaden its historical view and consider the possibility of "pre-modern organizations".

Download or read book Social Theory written by Hans Joas and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 995 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social theory is the theoretical core of the social sciences, clearly distinguishable from political theory and cultural analysis. This book offers a unique overview of the development of social theory from the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the present day. Spanning the literature in English, French and German, it provides an excellent background to the most important social theorists and theories in contemporary sociological thought, with crisp summaries of the main books, arguments and controversies. It also deals with newly emerging schools from rational choice to symbolic interactionism, with new ambitious approaches (Habermas, Luhmann, Giddens, Bourdieu), structuralism and antistructuralism, critical revisions of modernization theory, feminism and neopragmatism. Written by two of the world's leading sociologists and based on their extensive academic teaching, this unrivalled work is ideal both for students in the social sciences and humanities and for anyone interested in contemporary theoretical debates.

Download or read book Franciscan Organisation in the Mendicant Context written by Michael J. P. Robson and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2010 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emanating from the tradition of the Italian hermit communities the Franciscans developed organisational structures already early in their history, allowing them to offer pastoral care on a wide scale. This process of transition led firstly to constitutional structures as defined in the order's early legislation but it also occurred within relationship networks at different levels, in the context of Church and papacy, within the different European regions and before the background of the emerging Canon Law. The term "organisation" has been given a wide definition in the articles published in this volume. They offer a survey of general issues related to the structuring and running of religious orders as well as a number of case studies. Comparisons with other mendicant orders offer an analysis of the issues in a wider context.

Book excerpt: This book is framed as a dialogue, between Hugo Letiche’s iconoclastic appeals to demonstrate (as in a demo) for a pedagogy/philosophy/politics of (re-)territorialization (as in the demos), and Jacques Rancière’s calls for dissensus and a new sensibility (le partage du sensible) that may lead to radical democratization.

Download or read book Ordinary Organisations written by Stefan Kühl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Holocaust, 99 percent of all Jewish killings were carried out by members of state organizations. In this groundbreaking book, Stefan Kühl offers a new analysis of the integral role that membership in organizations played in facilitating the annihilation of European Jews under the Nazis. Drawing on the well-researched case of the mass killings of Jews by a Hamburg reserve police battalion, Kühl shows how ordinary men from ordinary professions were induced to carry out massacres. It may have been that coercion, money, identification with the end goal, the enjoyment of brutality, or the expectations of their comrades impelled the members of the police battalion to join the police units and participate in ghetto liquidations, deportations, and mass shootings. But ultimately, argues Kühl, the question of immediate motives, or indeed whether members carried out tasks with enthusiasm or reluctance, is of secondary importance. The crucial factor in explaining what they did was the integration of individuals into an organizational framework that prompted them to perform their roles. This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust by demonstrating the fundamental role played by organizations in persuading ordinary Germans to participate in the annihilation of the Jews. It will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of organizations, violence, and modern German history, as well as for anyone interested in genocide and the Holocaust.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Talcott Parsons Studies written by A. Javier Treviño and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talcott Parsons was the leading theorist in American sociology—and perhaps in world sociology—from the 1940s to the 1970s. He created the dominant school of thought that made "Parsonian" a standard description of a theoretical attempt to unify social science, as reflected in the fact that his contributions to the discipline cover a range of issues, including medicine, the family, religion, law, the economy, race relations, and politics—to name but a few. This volume brings together leading scholars working in the field of "Parsonian Studies" to explore the background of Parsons’s work, the content of his oeuvre, and his subsequent influence. Thematically organized, it covers Parsons’s contributions and impacts in areas including the philosophy and methodology of the social sciences; cultural sociology; personality, mental illness, and psychoanalysis; and economics and political and economic sociology. In addition, it considers his influence in different areas of the world and on particular students, and offers insights into the Parsonian tradition’s practical application to contemporary social issues. An authoritative, comprehensive, and in-depth critical assessment of the Parsonian legacy, The Routledge International Handbook of Talcott Parsons Studies will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and in sociology and social theory in particular, with interests in the history of sociology and the enduring relevance of Talcott Parsons.

Download or read book Critical Theory of Legal Revolutions written by Hauke Brunkhorst and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique work analyzes the crisis in modern society, building on the ideas of the Frankfurt School thinkers. Emphasizing social evolution and learning processes, it argues that crisis is mediated by social class conflicts and collective learning, the results of which are embodied in constitutional and public law. First, the work outlines a new categorical framework of critical theory in which it is conceived as a theory of crisis. It shows that the Marxist focus on economy and on class struggle is too narrow to deal with the range of social conflicts within modern society, and posits that a crisis of legitimization is at the core of all crises. It then discusses the dialectic of revolutionary and evolutionary developmental processes of modern society and its legal system. This volume in the Critical Theory and Contemporary Society by a leading scholar in the field provides a new approach to critical theory that will appeal to anyone studying political sociology, political theory, and law.
