Synopsis

Even though research methods have changed in significant ways, many of us still think about organisations as machines that become more efficient, just as Handy suggests. Organisational literature regularly contains contradictions and criticism of this early view of organisations. For example, research often describes organisations as dynamic human and social entities, rendering them difficult and complex to study. Organisational behaviours are seen as networks and systems. Even as the research (and practice) has expanded to incorporate many new ways of thinking about and studying organisations, this field of study is still open to new developments in research methodology and analysis. This book highlights some of these advances.
