  • 1.  Help with recommending reading?

    Posted 07-24-2007 05:48

    Dear list members

     

    Can you help me? In the course of my research I am asked to recommend some seminal, ground breaking or perhaps even radical books in the following areas, all specifically relating to organizational theory:

     

    Organizational Behaviour

    Organization Studies

    Human Resource Management

    Change Management

    Leadership

    Strategy

    Ethics

     

    If you have time, could you let me have your own favourites? This will help me understand what the most popular titles are.

     

    In hope...

    Best wishes

    Caroline
