On the Shoulders of Giants - eBooks and textbooks from bookboon.com

Abstract

Our responsibility as educators is not only to ensure that our students are well grounded in the fundamentals of our field, but also to motivate them to do meaningful research. We therefore asked ourselves why an introductory book was not available that gave a fair account of the basic message and key concepts, outlined the relevance to contemporary organization studies and led to a curiosity about the rich history of organization studies? We believe that the variety presented in this volume will guarantee exposure to the thinking and traditions of different disciplines, to different suggestions as to how to study organizations and to vastly different conclusions.
