内容説明

How do individuals, groups and organizations function? Exploring this question, the noted sociologist William Foote Whyte develops a comprehensive theory of individual motivation, social interaction and organizational learning by drawing upon research on social settings, industrial organizations and agricultural development. Committed to the concept of participation as a strategy both for organizational functioning and for research, Whyte convincingly demonstrates the efficacy of his views in examples as diverse as Peruvian potato farmers, Spanish work cooperatives and Fortune 500 corporations.
