Conceived by Chris Grey and written to get you thinking, the Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap series offers an informal, conversational, accessible yet sophisticated and critical overview of what you find in conventional textbooks.

The Third Edition of Studying Organizations has been updated in light of the continuing financial and economic crisis. It shows how this grew out of a thirty year experiment in ‘new capitalism’ and links this to changes in the world of work organizations in terms of growing insecurity, inequality and to shifts in the status of management.

Suitable for students of organizational studies and management, professionals working in organizations and anyone curious about the workings of organizations.
