A sequel to the author`s first volume, this book too provides a detailed review and analysis of the building-block theories on the subject, but concentrates on the macro-level ones. The text focuses on the key and best theories in the field and the contribution they make in understanding the organizations. Each chapter includes the background of the theorist represented, the context in which the theory arose, the initial and subsequent theoretical statements, research on the theory by the theory`s author and other findings (including meta-analysis and reviews), and practical applications. Special features, including boxed summaries of each theory at the beginning of each chapter; two introductory chapters on the scientific method and the development of knowledge; and detailed, comprehensive references, help make this text especially useful for every student and scholar in the field.
