Organizational Behaviour (RLE: Organizations)Politics at Work\nAuthor(s): Robert Lee, Peter Lawrence\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138977716, 978-1138977716\nSynopsis\nOrganizations do not have goals only people do. Furthermore, people within the same organizations have different goals. This book takes this as its starting point, recognizing that organizations are a dynamic coalition of individuals and groups competing and co-operating as they each pursue their various objectives. Power is a fundamental part of organizational behaviour but many previous studies failed to recognize its centrality. This book remedies this.
