In the Realm of Organisation - Essays for Robert Cooper (Hardcover, Reissue)

The study of organizations has been dominated by administrative, economic and performative concerns. The contributors of this book acknowledge the impact of Robert Cooper on their own work and develop further his insistence that organizational analysis must be understood in terms of the rationalization of society as a whole. Amongst the contributors are many experts in organizational theory. Chapters cover a wide area of interest, including organizational science and post-modernism, the logics of organizing and instrumental experience. In doing so, the book departs from an emphasis on "organizations" as social objects and moves towards a position of analysis which situates itself in the wider context of the late modernity. It should be valuable reading for students across a range of disciplines, including sociology, management and organizational behaviour as well as political studies. It should also be of interest to all professionals who desire to have a better understanding of organizational society and of the future direction of organizational studies.
