Review
"With a little help from his friends, James G. March reprises in this collection his earliest and latest explorations of organizations. Well-known themes of organizational action, institutional logics, and the role of novelty are contemplated and extended; less familiar themes of organizations in literature and the history of organization studies are introduced and given shape. Explorations of each theme bring to life March's pioneering view of organizations as complex, rule-based, imperfectly adaptive, interpretive systems - a view as vital and vibrant in organization studies today as when it helped found the field a half century ago." - Joel Baum, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto"
Product Description
"Explorations in Organizations" presents readers with contemporary issues in the study of organizations, and introduces the paths down which tomorrow's organizational scholarship might travel. A collection of recent papers by or co-authored by the eminent James G. March, the book consists of five sections: exploring theories of organizational action; novelty in organizational adaptation; institutions and the logic of appropriateness; the history of organization studies; and, uses of literature in the study of organizations.Each section begins with a new essay by a scholar whose work has focused on the theme explored in that part of the book. These introductory essays not only introduce and tie together the papers that follow, but also serve to add additional voices to the volume in order to deepen the discussion within it.
