Discovering Organizations is recommended as core reading by module leaders who seek an engaging, thought-provoking introduction to organizational theory and organization studies. This text operates as a springboard to help readers appreciate the complexity of organization and then have the confidence to delve deeper by reading a range of additional texts, articles, and cases.
"Our capacity for organization is quite remarkable. I think the organizations we build are among our greatest achievements ... My aim in writing this book is to help people better understand the organizations that surround them and how they work ... by starting at the literal beginning - with where, when, and why we humans started to get organized and the sort of organizations we established." -- Robin Burrow
As well as building students' understanding of how we have organized ourselves in the past, and how we organize ourselves now, this textbook looks optimistically to the future of organizations. It will aim to provoke and appeal to students' enthusiasm and excitement about what the future may hold for organizations with down-to-earth and relevant examples.
Dr. Robin Burrow is a Senior Lecturer in Organization Studies at the University of York in the School for Business and Society. Burrow's research is concerned with the lived realities of work in extremely challenging organizational contexts.
