Yvonne Due Billing – författare

Ledning och styrning av moderna organisationer blir allt svårare eftersom det sedan många år tillbaka inte är tillräckligt att bara producera resultat i form av produkter och tjänster. Organisationer måste i ökande utsträckning leva upp till de tuffa krav som ställs på etik, jämställdhet, miljö och mångfald samt följa ständigt föränderliga moden och trender. Den komplexitet som präglar moderna organisationer kräver att vi överger tron på överdrivet enkla framgångsrecept och i stället utvecklar självständigt och kritiskt tänkande.Organisationer, ledning och processer vill bidra till eftertanke och inspirera till kritisk reflektion. Varje kapitel behandlar ett specifikt organisationstema och sammantaget bildar dessa en bred och kvalificerad genomgång av modern organisationsteori och praktik. Bland temana finner vi: strategi, bolagsstyrning, nätverk, kontroll/styrning, genus, ledarskap, lärande, motivation, organisationskultur och organisationsförändring. I fyra separata kapitel behandlas även chefers och personalchefers arbete samt kunskaps- och marknadsföringsarbete. I denna tredje upplaga är alla kapitel kraftfullt uppdaterade utifrån aktuell forskning och organisationspraktik. Utöver det har det tillkommit flera aktuella exempel både från näringsliv och från offentlig sektor.Boken vänder sig till studerande på universitet och högskola inom samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen, men också till praktiskt verksamma inom organisationer.

`An unusually comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of how organizations and the men and women who work within them are affected by gendered processes and relations. Alvesson and Billing′s contribution is unique in its sensitivity to the wide range of processes affected by gender paired with its sensitivity to the pitfalls of inappropriately applying a gender lens. This book is a must-read for organizational researchers and gender scholars′ - Debra Meyerson, Stanford University

 

`Students and scholars alike will find this at once a useful overview and a thought-provoking take on the complexity of gender-in-organizations and gendered organizations′ - Robin J. Ely, Warren Alpert Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

 

In the decade since the first edition of this critical and provocative text, many aspects of gender have changed, and many have stayed the same. While the gendered study of organizations is a growing field in its own right, in many real-life organizations gaps in gendered job roles and pay are as entrenched as they were.

 

This Second Edition is a long-awaited update to an essential text in this dynamic and expanding field of inquiry, incorporating new, international perspectives that incorporate recent theory and debate, and a new chapter on gender and identity.
