There is a need to revisit the historical schools and their meaning for the contemporary debates in organizational theorizing, as well as to take a critical approach to the succession of paradigms. In addition, there is a continuing need in organization theory to distinguish between different metatheoretical influences behind new theories. In sum, a new version of the total historical development of organization is needed. This book addresses that need by directly using the historical sources of organization, instead of offering a secondary reading of the classics. It also shows how turns in social and cultural history intertwine with the changes in philosophical assumptions and social theoretical paradigms, without resorting to a simplified linear narrative. The book critically engages with both continuity and discontinuity between the different theoretical perspectives.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 12mmAuthor: Tuomo PeltonenGenre: Business & FinanceBook Series: Critical Management Studies Book Set (2016-2019)Item Weight: 490gRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
