Publisher's Synopsis
Creating Tomorrows Organizations A Handbook for Future Research in Organizational Behavior Edited by Cary L. Cooper, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, and Susan E. Jackson, New York University If the present is almost too complex to understand, how does one think about the future? In reality, our understanding and conceptions of organizations are created by the vision and description of those who lead and study them. Managers, psychologists, social scientists, and all serious observers of organizational behavior and development will be intrigued and guided by this important book, which brings together this vision and accounts of leading–edge research, concepts and methods. The study of organizations is defined by what scholars and researchers actually do. In this volume some of the best minds in the field, worldwide, describe key aspects of the organizational environment, of the concepts and processes, and of the methods and constructs that will drive and facilitate future research in organizational behavior.
