Organizations Alike and Unlike (RLE: Organizations): International and Inter-Institutional Studies in the Sociology of Organizations (Routledge Library Editions: Organizations) - Softcover

‘The International Yearbook is a refreshing collection of modern, diverse and contentious articles aimed at stimulating the sociology of organizations into one of the key areas of sociological debate...The papers taunt, cajole and penetrate much of traditional theory’ David Wilson, Sociology, Vol 15, No. 3

This volume contrasts the life and problems of organizations in many parts of the world and highlights the differences between those societies as reflected in their different institutional sectors such as manufacturing, commerce, social services and government administration. In so doing, the book contributes to the theoretical foundations of the sociology of organizations by revealing previously unseen relationships between societies and institutions, offering an original synthesis of available research.
