Description
Organization and Decision by Niklas Luhmann is a modern exploration of how organizations function and interact with society. Luhmann argues that organization is both an ordered system and inherently uncertain, which enables it to maintain autonomy while embedding itself within the social fabric.
In this book, Luhmann develops his autopoietic perspective on organizations, conceptualizing them as self-reproducing systems of decision-making and communication. This innovative approach integrates insights from organization studies, management, and sociology, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students alike.
Translated into English for the first time, this edition provides access to Luhmann's ideas for scholars across the English-speaking world, offering a unique perspective on the nature of organizations and their role in society.
