Organization and Economic Behavior

This textbook is an exposition of organizational theory and behaviour. Where many texts present opposing and highly abstract schools of thought in organizational theory, which students find difficult and confusing, this book seeks to offer a clearly-written, unitary synthesis of key approaches and problems. Moving beyond the traditional framework of neo-classical theory, Anna Grandori takes a "dynamic institutional" approach, integrating the sociological, psychological and economic contributions to the organization. The text is arranged with summaries and key points, exercises and questions, making it ideal for course use and it is an ideal resource for students of economics and business.
