Critical Analysis of Organizations: Theory, Practice, Revitalization
Main description:
`Catherine Casey has written an excellent book that provides a
lucid and comprehensive critical analysis of organizations.[It]
extends in reach and relevance beyond the specific field of
organization studies and the sociology of organizations to
encompass broader intellectual developments that have had a
significant impact on contemporary sociology and cultural
studies' - Barry Smart, Professor of Sociology, University of
Portsmouth
`I anticipate that it will prove to be an attractive book in
organization studies, industrial sociology and general sociology. I
am sure that this will be a book that will make a major impact'
- Mike Reed, Professor of Organization Theory, Lancaster
University
In this comprehensive and scholarly book, the essential critical
strands in organizational analysis are explained. It examines how
central traditions have realigned in relation to the challenge of
postmodernism and the new reflexive turn in organizational
studies.
Judicious, innovative and written with the needs of students in
mind, this book offers a renewed and revitalized critical accent in
organization studies - one that focuses on existing and emerging
social tendencies, contestations and struggles. It will be
essential reading for senior students of organization studies and
sociology.
