The Poetic Logic of Administration is an investigation of the most
important organizational forms of our time, theoretically as well
as practically. Central to the presentation are four main trends:
the rational bureaucracy, the human network, the harmonious system
and the strong culture. The book provides a new and challenging
picture of these organizational forms. Difficult to capture in
common logical terms, they appear to follow a certain pattern: a
'poetic logic'. They are, for example, enacted as various literary
dramas: comedy, tragedy etc. They are also marked by different
conceptions of the world - such as the metaphorical and the ironic
- and by different explanatory ideals. Kaj Skoldberg's book
contains a rhetorical analysis of the styles of modern
administration and the changes they have undergone. This is a
groundbreaking work, offering new interpretations and critical
re-evaluations of the individual approaches to organization,
including their 'gurus' and current importance, within the
framework of a highly-original, overarching analysis. No previous
book has tried to capture the major forms of organizing, and their
dynamics, in terms of their rhetorical master tropes, main
narrative genres, and explanatory ideals, and also uses this as an
interpretive scheme for understanding individual organizational
theories and practices within those main approaches. Examples are
given from both the private and the public sectors and various
forms of efficiency and effectiveness are also discussed.
