explanatory boxes, facts and figures. Takes a critical perspective throughout and covers
up-to-date themes such as Investors in People, National Vocational Education and Training,
Knowledge Management and Mentoring in a non-prescriptive way. Stephen Gibb recognises
controversial issues and tackles them head-on.

This book has been a classic since the first edition came out in 1990 - and it gets better and better. This
new 3rd edition has been split into smaller units with 25 chapters instead of 12.
The authors take a distinctly non-managerialist view of organisational studies which will appeal
to the sociologically inclined and will also be a healthy 'tonic' for the rest of us. Forget prescription
and description - this is a thoroughly analytical book. It ranges from the introductory to
the deeply critical but remains distinctive.
