Rethinking Organisational Behaviour Summary

Rethinking Organisational Behaviour: A Post-Structuralist Framework by Norman Jackson

Rethinking Organisational Behaviour engages in an original and thought-provoking approach to the subject. It situates organisational behaviour within recent theoretical developments whose sources -- such as semiotics or poststructuralism -- often lie outside the traditional disciplines of organisational behaviour. In clear and accessible language, the authors provide critical analysis of important elements in understanding organisational behaviour rarely addressed in detail in more conventional textbooks, including knowledge and power, rationality, ideology and self, boundary, efficiency and decision-making.
