Understanding Organizations Paperback - 2005
by Charles Handy
In a new introduction to his classic text, Charles Handy demonstrates how the key concepts of culture, motivation, leadership, power, role-playing, and group-working remain as important today as when the book was first published. "Organizations are not objects. They are micro-societies." This core business text gives students and professionals the tools to analyze and improve these "micro-societies."
Summary
Organizations are a part of everyday life, whether in schools, hospitals, police stations or commercial companies. In this classics text, Charles Handy argues that the key to successful organizations lies in a better understanding of the needs and motivations of the people within them. Understanding Organizations offers an extended 'dictionary' of the key concepts — culture, motivations, leadership, role-playing, co-ordinating and consultation — and then shows how this 'language' can help us find new solutions to familiar problems. Few management writers have been as consistently challenging and influential as Charles Handy. Firmly established as one of the core business texts, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in organizations and how to make them work better.
First line
I came to the study of people in organizations expecting certainty and absolute knowledge in the behavioural sciences.
