The author's years of research and experience into how organizations work are distilled in this invaluable work. The new edition of Understanding Organizations provides an extended 'dictionary' of key concepts such as culture, motivation, leadership, power, role playing and group working, and then explains how to use these ideas to find solutions to your own problems. Read it from cover to cover or dip into it as you need inspiration. (Kirkus UK)
