This wide-ranging analysis both explores current approaches to
organization studies and relates the concepts of modernity and
postmodernity to the realities of organizational structure and
context. In surveying alternative perspectives on organizations in
terms of ideal types, systems, contingencies, ecologies, cultures,
markets and efficiency, Clegg demonstrates that no single approach
is adequate to deal with the real-world variety of organizations
that exist. Drawing upon unusual and revealing examples - the
production of French bread, Italian fashion and `post-Confucian'
Asian enterprises - he argues that their success cannot be reduced
to `culture' but must incorporate a fuller understanding of the
ways in which organizations are constructed and reproduced. This
analysis is carried through in a detailed discussion of the debate
over why Japanese organizations are so successful.
