Created for undergraduate and graduate courses in Organizational Theory, Organizations, and Management of Organizations.
This book takes a strategic systems approach - an approach that focuses on how managers structure and operate organizations so that they are efficient and effective.
The focus of the revision is (1) a simplified writing style, one that presents theories in an easily understood manner, and then applies them, and (2) a significant updating of content.
