The Sociology of Organizations: Classic, Contemporary, and Critical Readings

For the first time, a single volume offers a comprehensive selection  of primary readings and companion overview essays on the sociology of  organizations. These readings and essays provide incisive and guided  coverage of the subjects normally included in a one-semester sociology  of organizations course.
The Sociology of Organizations covers  the full range of theoretical perspectives and substantive topics  through readings that are either classics in the field or widely  discussed and debated "new classics.
Scholars and students in  the fields of sociology, management, organizational behavior, and  organizational psychology and those within political science and  economics who are interested in how organizations function will find  this work a welcome, invaluable resource.
