`An excellent introductory text .... it provides a concise and well-written coverage of the main concepts in organizational behaviour. The combination of case studies and discussion of theoretical issues is well structured and provides the reader with a good framework for further reading' - Leadership and Organization Development


The book takes a different view of Organizational Psychology than other texts reviewed. I find it much more attractive and insightful. It provides a more complex and thorough view of organisational phenomena that I believe is of great interest for the training of psychologists in this field.

Well written and very readable textbook which provide the possibility to understand the basics of management - but from very reflexive and critical point of view.

Stephen Fineman's book on various processes of organizing is a great source of information for more advanced students of (international) organization. Many salient questions regarding organization are touched upon and given conceptual background. Not only students but also more seasoned theorists will consider the book as a good place to find inspiration about how to understand and research the world of (international) organization in an original fashion!
