Organization outside Organizations : The Abundance of Partial Organization in Social Life, Paperback / softback Book

Organization outside Organizations : The Abundance of Partial Organization in Social Life Paperback / softback

Edited by Goran (Uppsala Universitet, Sweden) Ahrne, Nils (Uppsala Universitet, Sweden) Brunsson

Paperback / softback

Description

The book explores how various social settings are partially organized even when they do not form part of a formal organization.

It also shows how even formal organizations may be only partially organized.

Professors Göran Ahrne and Nils Brunsson first established the concept of partial organization in 2011 and in doing so opened up a ground-breaking new field of organizational analysis.

An academic community has since developed around the concept, and Ahrne and Brunsson have edited this collection to reflect the current state of inquiry in this burgeoning subject and to set an agenda for future research.

Its chapters explain how organization is a salient feature in many social settings, including markets, interfirm networks, social movements, criminal gangs, internet communication and family life. Organization theory is much more relevant for the understanding of social processes than previously assumed.

This book provides a new understanding of many social phenomena and opens up new fields for organizational analysis.
