Beskrivning

First published in 1961, The Management of Innovation is one of the most influential books of organization theory and industrial sociology ever written. The central theme of the book is the relationship between an organization and its environment - particularly technological and market innovations.Based on first-class scholarship and engagingly written, the book presents the authors' now famous and ubiquitous classicifications of "mechanistic" and "organic" systems. For this it has become justly famous, but the book is also a penetrating study of social systems within organizations and organizational dynamics.

Recensioner i media

`Tom Burns' book was a minor classic when it was first published; one of the most sensible and profound critiques of bureaucracy in print. It was way ahead of its time, perhaps "prematurely right". I congratulate Oxford University Press for this re-issue, the third edition, with a new and extraordinary Preface to a book that is now a major classic.'Warren Bennis, University of Southern California, Author of An Invented Life: Reflections on Leadership and Change, Addison Wesley, `93
