Summary
We are living in the midst of a revolution in organization and management. The mechanistic principles that have dominated the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are being replaced by those of an electronic universe. As a result managers have to see and understand organizations in new ways. In this book Gareth Morgan shows how this can be done. In a sequence of path-breaking chapters he demonstrates how we can mobilize the insights of different metaphors to manage and design organizations in new ways, develop novel understandings of the relationships between organization and environment, create learning organizations with the intelligence of a living brain, explore the intricacies of corporate culture and the politics of organizational life, understand the unconscious dimensions of organization, translate the implications of the new science of chaos and complexity into practical management strategies, and confront and deal with the negative impacts that organizations often have on society and the natural world.

Summary
Carl Rhodes examines the implicit power of writing and authorship that is at play when people and organisations are (re)presented in research. To explore this, the book reports a research project in the area of organisational storytelling that investigates how people in one organisation used stories to (re)present their own learning experiences from the implementation of a quality management program. This research is written in three principal genres: autobiography, ethnography and a fictional short story. These (re)presentational strategies are reviewed to examine how different genres effect.

Summary
"Shows how discoveries in quantum physics, biology, and chaos theory enable us to deal successfully with change and uncertainty in our organizations and our lives. Includes a new chapter on how the new sciences can help us understand and cope with some of the major social challenges of our times. We live in a time of chaos, rich in potential for new possibilities. A new world is being born. We need new ideas, new ways of seeing, and new relationships to help us now. New science--the new discoveries in biology, chaos theory, and quantum physics that are changing our understanding of how the world works--offers this guidance. It describes a world where chaos is natural, where order exists "for free." It displays the intricate webs of cooperation that connect us. It assures us that life seeks order, but uses messes to get there ... Wheatley describes how the new science radically alters our understanding of the world, and how it can teach us to live and work well together in these chaotic times. It will teach you how to move with greater certainty and easier grace into the new forms of organizations and communities that are taking shape. You'll learn that: [1] Relationships are what matters--even at the subatomic level, [2] Life is a vast web of interconnections where cooperation and participation are required, [3] Chaos and change are the only route to transformation in this expanded edition, Wheatley provides examples of how non-linear networks and self-organizing systems are flourishing in the modern world. In the midst of turbulence, Wheatley shows, we create work and lives rich in meaning."--Publisher.
