Reviews

The focus here is on complex modern organizations as work environments. The major chapters were contributions by invited sociologists whose several themes include a theory of organizations that provides an alternative to the rational bureaucratic model, a theory of modernization based on energy consumption, and an empirical study of Japanese industries that challenges or supports theories about organizational complexity in terms of size or technology. ... A long introductory chapter by the editor ... proposes a comparative analysis of work in the modern world. ... Graduate students involved in the study of complex organizations will undoubtedly find something stimulating here.-Choice
