Organisational theory & behaviour

"Jaques has written a practical ""how-to"" book that applies to a variety of working organizations - industrial, commercial, service and public. Step-by-step, he builds up concepts, and then introduces the working procedures to enable CEOs and senior executive managers, and HR specialists to develop requiste organization for themselves - organization which will enhance creativity, productive effectiveness, human satisfaction and increase morale. Built upon the theoretical base of stratified systems theory, this work seeks to challenge current methods and assumptions in the field of organization, leadership, and management."
