Strategic Organizational Diagnosis and Design

Strategic Organizational Diagnosis and Design: Developing Theory for Application offers readers a flexible approach to understanding the complexities of organizational design. The book presents two distinctive pathways: one that leads from a deep immersion in theoretical concepts towards practical case applications, and another that encourages beginning with hands-on case studies supported by specialized analytical tools before delving into the underlying theory. Designed to meet the needs of various audiences, the text is accessible both to those with a solid background in organization theory and to newcomers who appreciate learning through real-life cases. Each chapter provides updated literature reviews and integrates an information processing perspective, ensuring that the theoretical foundations are both robust and clearly explained. This work invites you to explore the dynamic field of organizational design on your own terms, whether by first establishing the core principles or by directly engaging with practical examples. Its clear and thoughtful presentation makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to develop effective strategies within complex organizational settings.
