Samenvatting

The iconic Henry Mintzberg provides a crystal-clear map to the forms and forces that shape all human organizations, synthesizing his fifty years of research.

We live in a world of organizations, from our birth in hospitals until our burial by funeral homes. In between, we are educated, employed, entertained, and exasperated by organizations. We had better understand how these strange beasts really work. But where can we go to find out?

Welcome to Understanding Organizations . . . Finally! For half a century, Mintzberg has been observing organizations, advising them, engaging them, and escaping them. Here he offers a masterful update and revision of his 1983 classic, Structure in Fives.

Believing there is one best way to structure organizations is the worst way to do so. A better place to start is by recognizing different species of organizations. Mintzberg identifies seven-personal enterprises, programmed machines, professional assemblies, project pioneers, and others. He explores these forms and the seven forces that drive them toward hybrids and across their life cycles.

You will find no better guide to the care and feeding of these extraordinarily varied and vital creatures than this book.

Understanding organizations … Finally! - ‘Maakt vertrouwd met de principes van organiseren’
Rudy Kor | 15 april 2024
We zijn omringd door organisaties, maar volgens Mintzberg begrijpen we ze (nog steeds) niet helemaal. En dat wil hij met dit (Engelstalige) boek veranderen. Vandaar de titel ‘Understanding organizations … Finally!’ Zoals Mintzberg het zegt, kluizenaars hoeven organisaties niet te begrijpen, maar de rest van ons wel, tenminste als we er constructief gebruik van willen maken.
