Organization and Economic Behaviour

The field of organization, although by nature interdisciplinary, has become increasingly fragmented with limited efforts to integrate and compare the various economic, social and business-orientated perspectives. Organization and Economic Behaviour is the first attempt to present all the basic elements of organizational theory and behaviour relevant for understanding and improving economic organization. Anna Grandori offers a dialogue between the differing approaches, with a strong focus on reintegrating sociological, psychological and economic contributions to the notion of organization. This unique volume is clearly written and designed to address the wide audience; it will be an invaluable resource for students, featuring the following material: case studies and illustrations excercises discussion questions further reading suggestions a glossary The book also develops organizational theory at a more advanced level and will be of great interest to academics and all persons involved in the understanding and reshaping of organization arrangements in the field of business administration.
