Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Organizations Evolving offers a unique theoretical framework for understanding organizational emergence, persistence, change, and decline. Synthesizing and integrating six paradigmatic approaches to organization theory, this updated and revised third edition presents an evolutionary view that provides a unified understanding of modern organizations and organization theory.
Key features of the third edition include:
- A sophisticated analytic comparison of six major approaches to understanding modern organizations and their evolution
- An interdisciplinary focus, drawing extensively from sociology, social psychology, economics, history, management and entrepreneurship research
- Supplementary materials from academic journals and the popular press, and multi-media resources in an online companion
- Extensive case examples that illustrate key evolutionary processes
- Study questions designed for extended and reflective learning.
Offering key insights and critical learning opportunities, this book is crucial reading for classes covering macro-organizational behaviour and the sociology of organizations. Students of management studies and entrepreneurship, particularly those with a focus on organization theory, will also benefit from its interdisciplinary approach.
‘Organizations Evolving is an instant classic. The go-to book for information about the future, as well as what s current in organizations studies. It follows Aldrich's pioneering work on entrepreneurship, with great cases, on-line supplements, and updates on digital technology and inequality. For the best primer on the study of organizations, Organizations Evolving is the clear winner.'
