In this book Philip Streatfield reflects on his own experience as a manager to explore the question - who, or what is ’in control’ in an organization. Adopting the perspective of complex responsive processes developed in the first two volumes of this series, the author takes self-organization and emergence as central themes in thinking about life in organizations. He focuses on the tension between spontaneously forming patterns of conversation, and intentional actions, arguing that the order of organizations emerges through a combination of collective interaction and individual int

In print for over twenty years, this classic work takes a wide-ranging overview of the major psychoanalytic theorists and organizational researchers and ends with the writer’s own idea about how the two groups work together. Written in plain English, it nevertheless gets across some sophisticated concepts. A valuable read for managers, behavioural scientists, psychoanalysts and counsellors, and interesting for the general reader too.

The purpose of this volume is to produce a collection of articles by leading social psychologists and organizational scholars that focus on legitimacy processes in organizations. Over the last two decades in social psychology within sociology, scholars have developed legitimacy theories that strive to show how legitimacy processes merge into structures. Also, in organizational research, issues of legitimacy processes are of central concern - for example, in neoinstitutional theory. Therefore, it is worthwhile to devote a volume that will address specifically how these legitimacy processes op

One of the most influential concepts in the social science literature in the last two decades, the theory of social capital, asserts that social actors gain resources through relationships with other actors. While social capital research has largely focused on individuals as the unit of analysis, this volume looks at social capital of organizations, or Corporate Social Capital (CSC), exploring how and to what extent social networks facilitate or impede the attainment of organizational goals. This collection of papers posits a distinction between social structure and its outcomes, noting th
