Organisational theory is vitally relevant to today's student of business. Understanding Business Organisations introduces the student to classic debates and new perspectives on organisations through a wide ranging but approachable selection of readings.
This text:
* considers why organisations matter to employees and customers
* discusses theories of the organisation as a mode of empowerment and of control.
