Highly original and based on unique empirical research in the
fields of organization theory and organization behaviour, this work
makes an invaluable contribution to the literature on bureaucracy
and innovation. Focusing on a study of two major companies working
with innovation and new product development Styhre's critical
analysis pushes the boundaries of bureaucracy studies beyond its
current entrenched position. Departing from the traditional view
that bureaucratic organizations are inefficient, incapable of
responding to external changes, unable to orchestrate innovative
work and provide meaningful jobs for its co-workers, this empirical
study underlines the merits of a functional organization, the
presence of specialist and expertise groups and hierarchical
structures. Analyzing the literature of bureaucracy, the new forms
of post-bureaucratic organizations and drawing on the philosophy of
Henri Bergson, the author offers a model of bureaucracy, capable of
both apprehending its functional organization and its continuous
and ongoing modifications and changes to adapt to external
conditions. Innovative and compelling, this book is an excellent
text for advanced students of organization and management theory
and managerial strategists and decision-makers across the globe.
