Experiencing organizations

Told through the fresh, sharp eyes of new organizational recruits, these sometimes comic, often traumatic, but always vivid and revealing accounts of organizations have much to say to learners and old hands alike. Grouped in sections on 'images', 'winning and losing' and 'survival and injuries', the narratives encompass a wide gamut of themes and issues. These include power and politics in organizations; organizational cultures and change; gender and discrimination; appearances and 'realities'; leaders and followers; and emotion, motivation and stress. We also encounter the coldly competitive features of businesses where processes such as restructuring, rationalization and downsizing are increasingly commonplace. Throughout, commentaries by Fineman and Gabriel highlight particular points of analysis and learning, while each chapter concludes with questions for discussion, and a selected bibliography enabling further reading. This is an outstanding resource for students of organizational behaviour and theory, organizational and occupational psychology, and general management studies.
