Modern Perspectives on Organization Theories

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Växjö Universitet, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Organization Theory and its many insights into the twists and turns of organizations have found profound encouragement by theorists. Now it is the practitioners turn to speak up. Rethinking the theories being developed over the last centuries and approaching them critically sheds new light on the theories applicability in -real life-. To highlight the gap or the cohesiveness of practice and theory we choose to apply the theories from -The Oxford Handbook of Organization Theories- on topics I found worth discussing. Due to the diversity of the theoretical subjects, I decided to opt for five different examples, which approach the theories with all their aspects.
