«Understanding Organizations» is Charles Handy's management essay, published by Penguin in paperback (448 pages, in English).
Charles Handy analyzes organizations as microsocieties and argues that their success depends on understanding people's needs and motivations. As a dictionary of concepts, it covers culture, motivation, leadership, power, roles and group work, and proposes using this language to diagnose problems and find solutions.
This corresponds to the fourth edition of the work, originally published in 1976 within the Penguin Business Library series.
Aimed at management students and professionals who want to understand how organizations work and how to improve them.
Charles Brian Handy, CBE was an Irish author and philosopher who specialised in organisational behaviour and management. Among the ideas he advanced are the "portfolio career" and the "shamrock organization".
