From businesses, public administrations, universities and schools,
to hospitals, prisons, political parties, or the military, peoples'
lives are inextricably bound up with organizations from cradle to
grave. Yet we receive little training in how - as members,
customers, voters, or patients - to deal with them. In
Organizations Stefan KA1/4hl asks and answers many questions. What
are these entities that wield such strong influence in our society?
What makes them tick? What are our options for intervening, either
from within or without? This book explains how organizations
function by examining their three central features: their purposes
or goals, their hierarchies, and their memberships. The author
presents the three aspects of organizations - the display, formal,
and informal aspects, explaining them in metaphorical terms as
faAades, machines, and games. Acknowledging that the seminal
systems theory developed by sociologist Niklas Luhmann is not
easily accessible, Professor KA1/4hl presents Luhmann's
organizational concept in a succinct and user-friendly form that
will be readily grasped by a practitioner audience and provides new
insights in this ambitious theory.
