Understanding the Basic Dynamics of Organizing - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Organisation theory is a theoretical field of study distinct from more practical fields such as general management, organisational behaviour and human resource management. It is a basic science studying the ways human actors organise themselves into groups with various degrees of complexity. Organisation theory is not the study of organisations. Groups of actors referred to as 'organisations' in everyday parlance only constitute one part of the groups introduced in this text. Organisation theory is, therefore, a necessary tool not only for students of business administration, but also for those of a wide range of other academic fields, including sociology, cultural anthropology, public administration, education and philosophy.
