Organization and Management in the Embrace of Government (Organization and Management Series)

Organization and Management in the Embrace of Government is an original exploration of how governments affect the ways people organize themselves, manage those organizations, and respond to the organizations thus created. It is a grounded theory of how governments that are weak, erratic, or hostile undermine complex organization, trust, meritocracy, commitment, and other implicit expectations about how organizations operate. Scholars, students, and all those interested in a better understanding of how governments affect our cultural expectations of one another, our organizations, and the economies based upon them will find this groundbreaking volume to be a rich resource. The author, President-Elect of the Academy of Management, distills original comparative data drawn from China, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and the United States to paint a coherent theory of the organizational effects of governments. The book has been written primarily to introduce organizational and governmental scholars to the ways that governments can influence organization and management. However, it also is written with an eye to readers with practical interests in international management or governments. This pioneering work will be discussed and analyzed for decades to come.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

Melvin & Leigh, Publishers

This is a different kind of textbook. "Organizational Behavior: Real Research for Public and Nonprofit Managers" addresses the practical problems managers face in doing their day-to-day organizational work in a variety of public and nonprofit organizations. It looks to systematic research on organizations, seeking to discover which actions and practices actually do and do not work. Unlike other textbooks, "Organizational Behavior: Real Research for Public and Nonprofit Managers" actually translates this scholarly research for those managers seeking to understand and successfully manage their public or nonprofit organization and provides useful guidance, cases, and tools for making sense of working in the public service. Praise from the Field: "Managing public service organizations is hard work. Beset by multiple missions, changing political priorities, the gravitational pull of discrete performance measures, and, oh yes, complications due to human behavior and group dynamics, MPA students must learn how to harness organizational behavior and make it work for mission-accomplishment, not against it. This book is designed to do exactly that. It marries two subjects-management and organizational behavior-to provide a great textbook for students learning how to lead public service organizations."
