Förlagets beskrivning
Organization theorists have since the 1980s pointed out that autopoiesis represents considerable potential for developing alternative ways of understanding organizations. Niklas Luhmanns autopoiesis, being developed specifically for theorizing social systems, is gradually finding its way into organization studies. In bringing together authors from different European countries and institutions, as well as from different disciplines, this anthology introduces the reader to selected areas of Luhmanns autopoiesis that have a bearing on organization theory. It discusses aspects that are of particular interest to both theoretical and empirical organization theory, and in doing so, it enables students of organizations to acquire better appreciation of Luhmanns thinking. More specifically, the book includes:
• overview of the evolution of Luhmanns social systems theory
• theoretical dicussion in relation to selected aspects of organizations – contributions to existing organization theory in these areas (e.g. decision theory, trust, power, communication etc)
• potential for the future of organization studies
• empirical applications to organizational processes
• methodological implications for organization research
• Luhmanns autopoiesis and the practice of management?
• Luhmanns autopoiesis, systems theory and organization theory – a critical assessment
Luhmanns paper "Organisation" (in German) is translated into English for inclusion in the anthology.
