Rethinking Organisational Behaviour

A Poststructuralist Framework

Second Edition

Rethinking Organisational Behaviourengages in an original and thought-provoking approach to the subject. It situates organisational behaviour within recent theoretical developments whose sources – such as semiotics or poststructuralism – often lie outside the traditional disciplines of organisational behaviour.

In clear and accessible language, the authors provide critical analysis of important elements in understanding organisational behaviour rarely addressed in detail in more conventional textbooks, including knowledge and power, rationality, ideology and self, boundary, efficiency and decision-making.

The second edition of this successful and well-respected textbook is ideal for students on intermediate and advanced organisational behaviour courses either at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

Key features:

·        Adopts a poststructuralist approach and introduces a key body of contemporary theory.

·        Conceives of organisation as a process, rather than an object, which enables wider issues to be addressed.

·        Presents the understanding of organisational behaviour as the behaviour of people, rather than of employees.

·        Gives a wide range of case studies and examples of issues that face managers and students, with questions for debate and discussion.

·        An expanded glossary, bibliographies and references.
