Description
Employing a strategic/systems approach to the subject, this book begins by examining the organization's outside environment and the way that organizations develop systems to link up with and understand this environment. It goes on to study information management and strategy formulation, goals, design and structure. The text ends with an analysis of the more dynamic aspects of modern organization theory, such as culture, conflict, power, authority, politics and change.
