The three-dimensional organization

About this book

This book explores the notion of the three-dimensional organization, where symbolic, political and practical aspects of organizational life constitute and influence one another. Applying a constructionist viewpoint, the author revisits well-known organizational topics such as organizational control, leadership, power, rationality, technology, change and learning in order to establish what new insights can be engendered by adopting the three-dimensional perspective, to conclude with a review of research methods useful in an attempt to capture the three-dimensionality of modern organizations. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students with interest in organization studies.
