Description
Drawing upon nine years of "action" research with organizations at the Tavistock Institute and fifteen years of academic study, Dr Sofer here combines sociological and social-psychological concepts to show how large organizations actually work and how they cope with problems of leadership, change, and conflict. The author provides a unique combination of American and British contributions to organisational theory, much of which has not previously been reported. This volume provides the core of an education in organizational theory and practice for the student and the practising administrator.
'A comprehensive framework for the examination of large organizations with the view to their function, structure and the methods by which they deal with conflict and change'.
