Compiled by three of the most influential authors in the field, CLASSICS OF ORGANIZATION THEORY is a collection of the most enduring works in organization theory. The text helps students grasp important themes, perspectives and theories by describing what organization theory is, how it has developed, and how its development has coincided with events and changes in other fields. This text is not simply a retelling of the history of organization theory; its evolution is told through the words of the distinguished theorists themselves. The readings in this edition have been thoroughly reviewed and updated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Thrilling, Just Seminal
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

Reading these essay segments is like reading a geneology of American education. Some of the prose is brutal, but if you can slice through it and get past the image of a bunch of freshly shaven, well groomed dark blue suits preaching to you, you can learn something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent price for used book

This book was reduced by $4.00 from other advertised books. There were a couple of highlighted pages, but not that many. It arrived a little longer that I had anticipated from other times I had ordered via Amazon. But if I had to nit-pick something, that would be it.

3.0 out of 5 stars So buy it if it's required and it's actually help to your class or if you love reading text book
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2014

Did not really use it in my class except the weekly quiz. It's a mandatory text but I am not a big fan of text book. So buy it if it's required and it's actually help to your class or if you love reading text book. I would wait until the first lecture if you are hesitant.
