Among the strengths of this book have always been its relevance, practical orientation, and innovative character. What is new in this fully revised edition? In recent years, there have been substantial developments in the field of Organisation and Management – developments in terms of technology, politics, and society – that have also had an effect on the approach towards, and the development of, organisations. The discussion of these topics is not restricted to the realm of theory either instead, it is illustrated through many practical examples, thus offering the reader an insight into the application of theory to practice and practice to theory. In addition to the topics traditionally associated with Organisation and Management, the current developments and international context of the discipline feature prominently. Furthermore, it is a useful handbook for professionals already working in organisations.
