Description
Do Organizations Have Feelings? is a book written by organizational theorist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, Richard S. Tedlow. The book is a collection of Tedlow's essays on the topic of emotions in organizations. The essays were written over a period of thirty years and were published together for the first time with an extended commentary and discussion by the author and two specially written chapters to bring the story right up-to-date.
The book discusses how emotions have played a role in the way organizations have functioned over the years. It discusses how emotions have changed with the rise of globalization and discusses how emotions are still a major part of the way organizations function today.
Do Organisations have Feelings? argues that any adequate explanation of the way organizations function for those engaged in business and those who study it must transcend the traditional divide between reason and emotion. The papers in this important collection by one of the leading world authorities in the studies of organizations were written over a period of thirty years. They are now presented together for the first time with an extended commentary and discussion by the author and two specially written chapters to bring the story right up-to-date. Together they provide a fascinating history of the way organizations have reflected changes in society at large as we move into the epoch of globalisation.
