Most of us recognize that organizations are everywhere. You meet
them on every street corner in the form of families and shops,
study in them, work for them, buy from them, pay taxes to them. But
have you given much thought to where they came from, what they are
today, and what they might become in the future? How and why do
they have so much influence over us, and what influences them? How
do they contribute to and detract from the meaningfulness of lives,
and how might we improve them so they better serve our needs and
desires? This Very Short Introductions addresses all of these
questions and considers many more. Mary Jo Hatch introduces the
concept of organizations by presenting definitions and ideas drawn
from the a variety of subject areas including the physical
sciences, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology,
literature, and the visual and performing arts. Drawing on examples
from prehistory and everyday life, from the animal kingdom as well
as from business, government, and other formal organizations, Hatch
provides a lively and thought provoking introduction to the process
of organization. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions

almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect
way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors
