Purchase options and add-ons

Gareth Morgan believes that examining organizations and management should be interesting, creative, practical, challenging and directly relevant to the needs of both the organization and the researcher. In an ingenious selection of organizational stories, Morgan presents unique insights drawn from actual corporate (as well as non-profit, public and institutional) experience. These examples illustrate both organizational successes and failures - because we can learn from both. They are interwoven with excerpts from many of the "classics" in organizational literature. His aptly-named "Mindstretchers" entice readers to expand their personal repertoires of approaches to the understanding of, and solutions to, organizational problems and challenges, followed by cases and exercises that challenge us to view organizations in new ways.

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2013
Purchased for a graduate level class in organizational Management. I have read most of the book and it is easy to read and with an interesting point of view. As always, Amazon is on time!
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015
Slightly dated but a good reference for any organizational manager.
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2013
This is a text book Concepts are decent. This book is much better than Images of Organization, the concepts are much less biased.
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012
This book is a very informative book based on traditional processes. It does not give you information to get you prepared for the 21 century organization. I guess it was good to know of the past.
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013
This text is so outdated it. Is almost useless. While there are some basic theories that may still be useful it is not valid for research or citation based on its age. Irrelevant.

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2003
I purchased this book for use as a text in a doctoral class in organization and management. It offers a wide mix of ideas that can be used in your own workplace and compliments Morgan's other works quite well.
