Discovering Organizations

This is an accessible, entertaining, highly engaging and informative book about organisations not only the public and private sector ones that we hear about frequently, but also the informal and criminal organisations that are so often left out of management textbooks. The book covers a wide range of themes, issues and locations, and offers fascinating case studies, further reading and even movie suggestions, providing a wide-ranging set of teaching resources in management and organisation studies and related subjects. It is a must-read not only for students in business and management, but also for anyone seeking to grasp the intricacies of organising and understand the world better. * Toma Pustelnikovaite, Cardiff University *This book is what I have been searching for over the past 5 years. It offers students a comprehensive, engaging and accessible doorway into organisation theory. * Rima Hussein, Northumbria University *
