Classics of Organization Theory 8th Edition

Great book, arrived in great condition. I use this textbook for my graduate studies in Criminal Justice. Some parts of the book can be a challenging read, there are some complex theories outlined throughout the text. However, with some determination it becomes very enlightening to understand the many different ways the criminal justice system and others can operate effectively.

I am in an Ed.D. program for administrative leadership; this book is a core or essential text for this program. I am using it currently to write a research paper and will use it again for my qualifying exams. I find that this book has been well put together and leads to understanding of critical organizational structure. Further, this text was used by the professor that taught our organization theory class. I recommend this text to individuals who need primary source documents, a requirement in my program, to analyze organizations----- this book provides an solid basis for finding how the original authors delineated their theories and/or hypothesis on organizations. It is well worth the cost!

Very quick delivery.

Yet another informative text used during a Grad School class in Public Administration.So much information, a little bit of a dry read, but definitely provided a great amount of information for the class.

Good purchase.

Book cover split open where cover may have been folded… used for school

I love the product!

There are so many limitations with this digital rental. It would be better to rent the digital copy from somewhere else. I have already reached my copy limit and I have only used the book for less than 3 hours. Also, you can only print 10% of the book it calculated to less than 1 page. You can’t even send it to PDF. I wish this was advertised. It would be worth it to pay extra and rent it from somewhere else. It is not user friendly.

Older editions were way better. They have dropped the classic elements.
