{"product_id":"9780803924956","title":"Organizational Theory and Inquiry : The Paradigm Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe transition from viewing organizations as bureaucracies toward seeing them in metaphoric terms is a contemporary break with past organizational theory. But to investigate the similarities between real organizations and the metaphors describing their functions and context, a shift in both methods of inquiry and organizational theory must take place. The original essays in this volume explore the paradigm shift at three levels: (1) an overview of historical roots; (2) an explication of terminology, metaphors, and constructs; and (3) the practical application of these new organizational inquiry methods, especially for actual research practices and policy analysis applications. \"An up-to-date picture of what is going on in the field. . . . Worth reading if one has a serious interest in organizations.\" --European Journal of Operational Research\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382302040143,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":4410.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780803924956","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
