Moving away from the common focus on studying organizations from a distance, this accessible book introduces the idea of studying them from the inside.

Inside Organizations: Exploring Organizational Experiences guides placement students, and any student undertaking part-time work in an organization, through 'insider inquiry', helping them to develop key reflexive and critical thinking skills for their future careers. It encourages students to pay attention to what goes on in organizations, to question what they experience and ultimately to make sense of how organizations function.

This book is ideal for students on programmes with a placement or internship element such as business and management, nursing and health, and education and is especially useful to those doing reflective journals and essays.
