In this series of lectures, previously unpublished in English, and
here translated from a French reconstruction and interpretation by
noted scholar Thierry Weil, leading organizational scholar James
March uses great works of literature to explore the problems of
leadership.
"The Pursuit of Organizational Intelligence" brings together the writing of one of the best-known academics in the field of decision making and organizational theory. It acts as a sequel to March's earlier "Decisions and Organizations." The essays published here reflect the shift in March's thinking, and therefore the shift in teaching of organizational theory generally, towards a "softer," more European approach since the late 1980s.
For over 30 years, James March has made a sustained and innovative
contribution to the field of organizational theory. In this series
of lectures, previously unpublished in English, March explores the
problems of leadership. These problems, he proposes, are dealt with
more effectively in works of great literature than in management
textbooks. Reading 'War and Peace' or 'Don Quixote', according to
March, allows us to develop a critical ability which complements
the techniques we acquire elsewhere.
March uses literature to present a range of moral dilemmas related to leadership - questions concerning the balance between private life and public duties, between ingenuity and innocence, between diversity and integration, and between the expression and the control of sexuality. He encourages us to explore ideas that are subversive, unpalatable, and which may not work in the short term, but which allow organisations to adapt in a rapidly changing world.
For over 50 years, James G. March has made a sustained and
innovative contribution to the study of organizations. In his
renowned course on leadership at Stanford University he explores
the problems of leadership using works of great literature, such as
"War and ""Peace" and "Don ""Quixote," These essays are based on
March's notes for his course lectures. The notes have been
interpreted by Thierry Weil, and translated here from his original
French interpretation. March uses literature to examine a set of dilemmas related to leadership - questions concerning the balance between private life and public duties, between ingenuity and innocence, between diversity and integration, and between the expression and the control of sexuality. He encourages us to explore ideas that are sometimes subversive and unpalatable, but may allow organizations to adapt in a rapidly changing world.
