This 8th edition of Introduction to Organizational Studies covers current theories and challenges in organizational studies, based on McKinsey’s 7S model. The textbook is written by Loek ten Berge, Marco Otteman, and Guido Winckels, and offers a coherent and clear approach to strategy, structure, culture, and leadership in organizations.
The content has been expanded with new topics such as sustainability, artificial intelligence, big data, robotization, and governance. A running case about a merging brewery makes the theory practically applicable. Each module starts with learning objectives and assignments, followed by clear explanations and examples, and concludes with an integration of organizational aspects for systems-based learning.
