Images of Organization

About this book

"What a "kick" I get out of teaching from Images of Organizations. What a head-snapping view of organizations it offers to my MBA students as well as to the odd client/executive who is disposed to creep out of the practicality of business-as-usual and take in a vibrant thrilling view of organizations." Ariane David Ph.D. Senior Advisor/President The Veritas Group Since its first publication over twenty years ago Images of Organization has become a classic in the canon of management literature. The book is based on a very simple premisethat all theories of organization and management are based on implicit images or metaphors that stretch our imagination in a way that can create powerful insights but at the risk of distortion. Gareth Morgan provides a rich and comprehensive resource for exploring the complexity of modern organizations internationally translating leading-edge theory into leading-edge practice. Please contact SAGE customer service to order your copy. Images of Organization challenges and reshapes how we think about organization and management in the most fundamental way. The new Updated Edition makes this monumental work available to a new generation of students and business leaders worldwide.
