Readings on Modern Organizations

by Amitai Etzioni (Editor), Alex Inkeles (Series Editor)

This book of readings includes the work of twenty-eight contributors who examine the central problems of organizational rationality in relation to a basic dilemma of modern man--the search for instruments that will effectively serve his goals without governing his life. The readings present an interdisciplinary (sociology, psychology, business administration, and political science) view of organizations and give good illustrative examples for the theoretical and methodological material.
