This handy compendium gives
easy access to the principal ideas of the leading authorities, while brief, clear resumes
bring out the main thrust of their thinking.
This fifth edition of an
evergreen resource for student and manager alike adds Charles Handy, Andrew Pettigrew,
Gareth Morgan, Karl E. Weick, Peter Senge, Paul J. DiMaggio and Walter W. Powell, and
Christopher Bartlett and Sumantra Ghoshal to the wide range of experts whose work is
summarized.
The authors cover a range of
topics from the structure and national and international environments of organizations to
management problems, and from managerial decision-making and influence to people problems
and organizational change and learning. Derek S. Pugh and David J. Hickson have created a
classic work that accompanies executives on management courses and helps management
students in writing essays and exams. It has been translated into numerous languages
worldwide. A companion volume, Organization Theory, edited by Derek S. Pugh, is also
published by Penguin.
