MANAGERS IN THE MAKING
As examples of ‘ organisational ’ and
‘market’ approaches to society ,Japan and
Britain provide a useful contrast, showing
the national and cultural factors which
affect the performance of executives .
There is extensive research data behind
this book , and key areas of comparison
between the two countries include their
different systems of recruitment and their
diverse systems both to management
control and the work environment .
Analysing Organisations
This book provides support for managers who
need to plan organisational research with a
step-by-step , ‘how-to’ guide . The authors
describe each part of the process, the
advantages and disadvantages that result from
many of the choices that must be made , and
the lessons they have learnt from years spent
designing and conducting surveys . The
sections on research into recruitment and
employment relationships are particularly
informative .
B
C
The Culture Of Organisations
This book look at the culture of
business organisations and the writers
suggest that this is more complex and
diverse than had previously been
recognised . A variety of different and
non–traditional research settings across
industries are represented , including a
car plant in Slovenia , a US software
developer and a Korean electronics
company .
Images Of Organisations
This book shows how organistions can
be managed and designed in new ways.
There are chapters on the complexity of
corporate culture,and on how managers
can deal with the negative impact
organisations may have on society and
the natural world . No other publication
covers the arguments so clearly while
developing the implications for
management with such force .
