Organizational TrapsLeadership, Culture, Organizational Design

Chris Argyris, Harvard University and Monitor Group

‘Chris Argyris is a master of revealing the universal dysfunctionalities of organizations and the challenges of dealing with them. Here he picks up the theme of

Organizational Traps and successfully links them to issues of leadership, culture, and organizational design. Once again Argyris o� ers us insights in how to understand and tackle them.’ Andrew M. Pettigrew OBE, FBA, Professor of Strategy and Organization, Saïd Business School

Chris Argyris explores why it is that the same confl icts are experienced in organizations, yet the issues are often never addressed. He shows how our behaviour creates these ‘organizational traps’, and that while much writing on management also shows this, it doesn’t focus on how to avoid these traps.

Neighbor NetworksCompetitive Advantage Local and Personal

Ronald S. Burt, University of Chicago Booth School of Business

'The core contribution of Neighbor Networks is the rich detail devoted to explaining when it matters to be

connected to well-connected others. Theoretically, the book explains how the social capital benefi ts accruing to individuals are largely the result of their immediate networks. Empirically, the book o� ers a bevy of evidence in support of these claims. The contribution also delineates the cases of closure in neighbour networks (and the e� ects of such closure on reputation and relationship development) and the benefi ts of having a strategic partner inside a neighbor network. This is a fi ne book of interest to graduate students and researchers across the social sciences.' Administrative Science Quarterly

There is a moral to this book, a bit of Confucian wisdom often ignored in social network analysis: "Worry not that no one knows you, seek to be worth knowing." In this book Burt builds on his celebrated work to examine the cases of analysts, bankers, and managers, and fi nd that rewards, in fact, do go to people with well-connected colleagues.

Organizations A Very Short Introduction

Mary Jo Hatch, University of Virginia

Organization happens in the act of working with others to accomplish a desired future state. It can happen through

intentionally designed activity, spontaneous improvisation, or some combination of the two, but it always requires coordinated e� ort. This Very Short Introduction provides a lively and thought provoking introduction to the topic.

The Institutional Logics PerspectiveA New Approach to Culture, Structure, and Process

Patricia H. Thornton, Duke University and Stanford University, William Ocasio, Northwestern University, and

Michael Lounsbury, University of Alberta

‘This book goes farther than any prior work in advancing the institutional logics perspective.’ Gerald F. Davis, University of Michigan

‘No concept in the fi eld of organization studies has been more promising than that of institutional logics and no concept has been more elusive, at times to the point of evanescence. The authors bring institutional logics down to earth, unpacking the concept, tracing its history and exploring its ambiguities, identifying its component parts, and giving each the close attention it deserves. This much-needed and well-conceived volume provides an invaluable service to students of institutions and organizational fi elds.’ Paul DiMaggio, Princeton University

The book analyzes, synthesizes, and further develops theoretical and methodological tools in the rising new school in institutional analysis, the institutional logics perspective, which o� ers opportunities to examine how individual and organizational actors are a product of multiple social locations in an inter-institutional system.

Exploring LeadershipIndividual, Organizational, and Societal Perspectives

Richard Bolden, Beverley Hawkins, Jonathan Gosling, and Scott Taylor, all at University of Exeter Business School

‘There are thousands of books on leadership but I wouldn’t recommend many of them. I would recommend this one. It’s a gem: contemporary, critical, well-written, and provocative. What more would you want? ’ Keith Grint, Professor of Public Leadership, Warwick Business School

‘The people at the Centre for Leadership Studies have done it again. In taking a critical, interdisciplinary, multilevel perspective on leadership, they take the reader on a rollercoaster ride that is memorable. By enabling more critical refl ections on leadership theory, development, and practice, this book is a must read for anyone interested in this highly complex topic.’ Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, Clinical Professor of Leadership and Organizational Change, INSEAD, France

The book describes the theories and models of leadership that have developed over time, and provides an analytical and multidisciplinary framework for discussion of leaders and leadership from individual, organizational, and societal perspectives.

Collisions and CollaborationThe Organization of Learning in the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC

Edited by Max Boisot, formerly at ESADE, University of Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Markus

Nordberg, ATLAS Resources Coordinator, CERN, Geneva, Saïd Yami, The University of Montpellier 1 and Euromed Management, France, and Bertrand Nicquevert, Project Engineer, CERN, Geneva

‘This is a masterful piece of research that will make an enduring contribution to our knowledge of how the organization of science develops at the frontier of knowledge. Boisot and his many colleagues have crafted an excellent volume that convincingly explains why management theorists may have more to learn about scientifi c organization from physicists than vice versa.’Henry Chesbrough, Professor at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and author of Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profi ting from Technology

‘This book has vast implications far beyond CERN, the Large Hadron Collider, and the ATLAS project. Based on the concept of “Information Space”, 3000 scientists and others face the irreducible unknown. Standard planning and optimization fail. Emergence and generativity succeed. This book is a prolegomenon for governments and an emergent set of interwoven global civilizations.’Stuart Kau� man, MacArthur Fellow FRSC, Santa Fe Institute, University of Vermont, and author of At Home in the Universe, Investigations, and others

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s largest scientifi c experiment involving 3,000 scientists from 38 countries. Here a team of organization theorists collaborate with leading fi gures at CERN to understand how this project has been organized and what lessons can be learnt for the management of major projects and ‘big science’.

The Virtues of LeadershipContemporary Challenges for Global Managers

Arménio Rego, the Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal, Miguel Pina e Cunha, Nova School of Business and Economics, and Stewart R. Clegg, University of Technology Sydney Business School and Visiting Professor, Universidade Nova, Portugal

Given the power of multinational organizations in developed and emerging economies, and their role in economic growth, their leaders face particular moral and business challenges in the contemporary global economy. Drawing on the Positive Organizational Scholarship movement, this book explores how virtues and character strengths may be put at the service of positive organizational performance, stressing that virtues represent the ‘golden mean’ between the extremes of excess and defi ciency, and discussing the perverse consequences of ‘excessive virtuousness’. The book shares theoretical, anecdotal, and empirical evidence on the convergence between good virtues and good results, aiming to disseminate the idea that managers can be competent and competitive, whilst doing ‘good things right’.
