Description
This collection of tales explores organizations through the lens of archetypes, revealing common patterns that contain hidden images of human motivations. By examining twelve organizational archetypes, Monika Kostera offers insights into self-management and self-organization for non-corporate use.
Stories from contemporary organizations in various contexts are woven together with theoretical reflections, current management literature, and practical examples to create a rich tapestry of understanding. This book is an invaluable resource for students, academics, researchers, social entrepreneurs, and NGO activists seeking inspiration and guidance on effective self-organization.
