Since its first publication thirty years ago, Images of Organization has become a classic in the canon of management literature. The book is based on a very simple premise–that all theories of organization and management are based on implicit images or metaphors that stretch our imagination in a way that can create powerful insights, but at the risk of distortion. Gareth Morgan provides a rich and comprehensive resource for exploring the complexity of modern organizations internationally, translating leading-edge theory into leading-edge practice.

The 30th Anniverary Edition preserves Morgan’s renowned creative images and metaphors while refreshing the examples and references . A new introduction situates this classic theory in today’s business environment.

Images of Organization challenges and reshapes how we think about organization and management in the most fundamental way. The new 30th Anniverary Edition makes this monumental work available to a new generation of students and business leaders worldwide.
