Business strategy; Business ethics; Management & management techniques; Organisational theory & behaviour

This book offers a rigorous yet accessible exploration of organisational politics, providing scholars with a systematic framework for analysing one of management’s most elusive concepts. Moving beyond fragmented definitions, it deconstructs politics into seven core dimensions—power, influence, culture, communication, conflict, networking, and strategy—creating a coherent foundation for research and comparative analysis.

Each chapter integrates theoretical discussion with case studies, historical examples, and structured debate prompts, making it a valuable resource for graduate-level study and scholarly inquiry. By combining conceptual clarity with empirical insights, the volume advances understanding of how political dynamics shape organisational behaviour.

Essential reading for academics in management, organisational studies, and business ethics, this work bridges theory and application, challenging sanitised narratives of corporate life and offering an unfiltered look at power, manipulation, influence, and strategic networking.
