Det här är boken som landets alla ekonomistudenter väntat på. Den är skriven på ett ledigt och lättillgängligt språk, kastar redan på första sidan in läsarna i en brännande diskussion om de klassiska och samtida idéerna kring organisationer och organisationsstyrning och rör sig smidigt från Weber till postbyråkrati, från scientific management till förändringsledning. Den visar att vi, för att förstå dessa idéer måste ställa oss fundamentala frågor om vad det innebär att vara människa och om det moderna samhällets beskaffenhet.Chris Greys bok erbjuder ett motgift mot företagsekonomins tråkiga grundböcker och ger en god grund att stå på för alla studenter som läser kurser i management och organisation. Den avslöjar handelshögskolornas verkliga syfte, utmanar dina invanda tankemönster och hjälper dig att spetsa tentan.
