Ideal for those with a serious interest in organization,
By A Customer
This review is from: Analysing Organisations (Paperback)
This text is designed to provide the MBA-level student with a meaty, reference-packed discussion of organization. In the first two-thirds of the book Dawson explores the nature and interrelationships between between people, strategies, technology, environment, structure, and culture. She then turns her focus to organizational change and the dynamic elements that are involved in this process, such as power and influence. Importantly, the creative and intuitive are interwoven into the model of change Dawson presents. As a consultant working with organizations on their change initiatives, I find this book, although academic, to be interesting and helpful. It is geared for students, but it holds value for practitioners who are willing to tackle a book with 15 pages of bibliography and which cites the research and writings of others on virtually every page. In fact, for practitioners a plunge back into books of this kind can be a refreshing change from the sea of slick how-t! o publications which too frequently offer content that fails far short of what we may hope to find, given thier alluring titles. In short, "Analyzing Organizations" is a worthy contribution.
