Power and organizations
Résumé
This book reviews the evolution of theories on power and organizations, presenting not only the theorists who identify power as positive, but also dealing with the negativity of power and the real horror of which organizations are capable -an area thus far underplayed in organization theory. At the core of organizational power projects are organizational elites, whose politics and projects are examined extensively. The book concludes by revealing the implications for organizations, and their elites, of the trends, tendencies and theories considered in the course of the book.
