Description

Translated into English for the first time, Luhmann's modern classic, Organization and Decision, explores how organizations work; how they should be designed, steered, and controlled; and how they order and structure society.

Luhmann argues that organization is order, yet indeterminate.

In this book, he shows how this paradox enables organizations to embed themselves within society without losing autonomy.

In developing his autopoietic perspective on organizations, Luhmann applies his general theory of social systems by conceptualizing organizations as self­reproducing systems of decision communications.

His innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the material (spanning organization studies, management and sociology) is integral to any study of organizations.

This new translation, edited by one of the world's leading experts on Luhmann, enables researchers and graduate students across the English-speaking world to access Luhmann's ideas more readily.
