520			_aSince its first publication over twenty 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. ; ; This new Updated Edition preserves Morgans renowned creative images and metaphors while refreshing the references and tables. The addition of a preface situates this classic theory in todays business environment while the instructors resources (now available on CD) aid classroom teaching. ; ; Images of Organization challenges and reshapes how we think about organization and management in the most fundamental way. The new Updated Edition makes this monumental work available to a new generation of students and business leaders worldwide.
