This special volume brings together leading scholars in the field
of organisation studies to reflect on the universal phenomena of
hierarchy (vertical organisation of tasks) and bureaucracy
(rule-bound execution of tasks). The result is a colourful
kaleidoscope of thought-provoking, critical and refreshingly
non-mainstream analysis of hierarchy and bureaucracy. The chapters
range from minute accounts of a single case to broader historical
analysis, from the 'classical' journal paper to essay-style
elaborations. The first section provides fundamentals and
historical accounts of bureaucracy, highlighting negative and
positive effects of bureaucracy and a differentiated picture with
some future outlook. The second section focuses on the analysis of
organisational, cultural and socio-psychological aspects of
hierarchy and bureaucracy by interrogating hierarchy in
contemporary work via a new framework, exploring the cultural
fantasy of hierarchy and sovereignty, and examining subordinates'
challenges to organisational hierarchy. The final section comprises
two chapters which provide some alternative views on, and
alternatives to hierarchy. One is alarming, the other is puzzling.
