Description

This text evaluates the most up-to-date theory and research, bringing together and contrasting conventional and critical approaches from organisational analysis, management studies, labour process theory and social psychology. Major changes are taking place in the world of work organisations. These are located in their economic and political contexts and with respect to their practical effects. Emphasis is placed upon redefining the behavioural agenda to focus on issues of subjectivity and identity, to complement the analysis of structure, power and control.
