This Second Edition of Organizational Theory is comprehensive and up-to-date, making important theories accessible and interesting to students. The text maintains a tight integrated flow between chapters and provides direct and clear managerial implications. Each chapter has been reorganized both to facilitate students' understanding of organizational theory concepts and to provide expanded coverage of emerging issues. Recent theoretical advances in organizational theory that have occurred since the previous edition are reflected in this new edition. For example, the book now includes an expanded discussion of restructuring and downsizing and now has a detailed discussion of reengineering, network structure, and the boundaryless organization. Some other topics that are covered include: advanced information technologies and their effects on organizational design; decision making and organizational learning; and innovation and change.
