John Wiley and Sons Ltd Surveillance Power and Modernity
Book SynopsisAs a result of the writings of Foucault, surveillance has come to be seen as a phenomenon of major importance in modern societies. But there are few, if any, studies which relate the concept of surveillance to that of bureaucracy, thus connecting Foucault to Max Weber. Dandeker''s text breaks new ground in re-examining the framework of Weber''s analysis of bureaucracy in the light of problems of surveillance. The author also provides a critique of a variety of other theories of the significance of bureaucracy in the modern world. The core of the book is concerned to offer a detailed analysis of the use of bureaucratic surveillance in the state and the economy. The author gives particular attention to the role of warfare in the expansion of surveillance. The text brings together problems that ordinarily are treated in substantial separation from one another, including analyses of staff and line in organization theory, military service and the formation of prisons and asylums.Trade Review'An excellent, scholarly piece ... many will find a place for it on their 'sociology of organisations' courses.'

Book SynopsisDuring the past decade, leaders have increasingly relied on self--managing work groups, multifunctional teams, and cross--national executive groups to create the organization of the future.Trade Review"Paradoxes of Group Life is probably the most important volume ongroup dynamics written within the last twenty years. It hasinfluenced an entire generation of scholars andmanager-leaders?often without the explicit recognition it deserves.For those who are ready, this work offers thoughtful, clear andenriching concepts about the most troubling and potentiallyliberating elements of group life." (Clayton P. Aldefer, Ph.D.,ABPP, distinguished professor of organizational behavior, RutgersUniversity Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology;editor, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science) "Smith and Berg have provided a new and interesting frame ofreference for the study of behavior in groups that iscomprehensive, often counterintuitive, and interesting." (LeopoldGruenfeld, professor of organizational behavior, New York StateSchool of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University,Administrative Science Quarterly) "Professionals and academics will find a very intelligent andvaluable examination of many classical theories of personality andgroup interaction. Involving ourselves in the Smith and Berg modelwas, without a doubt, educational and intellectually provocative."(Samuel A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Psychiatrist in the Courtroom Selected Papers
Book SynopsisOver the course of an illustrious career, the late Bernard Diamond established himself as the preeminent forensic psychiatrist of the century. The Psychiatrist in the Courtroom brings together in a single volume Diamond''s pivotal contributions to a variety of important issues, including the nature of diminished capacity, the fallacy of the impartial expert, the predictability of dangerousness, and the unacceptability of hypnotically facilitated memory in courtroom proceedings. Ably introduced and edited by Jacques M. Quen, M.D., a close colleague of Diamond''s and leading historian of forensic psychiatry, these writings enable experts and neophytes alike to track Diamond''s evolving positions while clarifying where current legal and psychiatric opinion converge -- and diverge -- on a host of critical topics.For the forensic specialist, The Psychiatrist in the Courtroom is not only an invaluable reference work but a compassionate reminder of the cliniciaTrade Review"Bernard Diamond's influence on forensic psychiatry during the last half of the twentieth century is unsurpassed in clarity and wisdom.

Cambridge University Press Organization outside Organizations
Book SynopsisThe book explores how various social settings are partially organized even when they do not form part of a formal organization. It also shows how evenformal organizations may be only partially organized. Professors Göran Ahrne and Nils Brunsson first established the concept of partial organization in 2011 and in doing so opened up a ground-breaking new field of organizational analysis. An academic community has since developed around the concept, and Ahrne and Brunsson have edited this collection to reflect the current state of inquiry in this burgeoning subject and to set an agenda for future research. Its chapters explain how organization is a salient feature in many social settings, including markets, interfirm networks, social movements, criminal gangs, internet communication and family life. Organization theory is much more relevant for the understanding of social processes than previously assumed. This book provides a new understanding of many social phenomena and opens up new fiTrade Review'In an imaginative move to renew and enlarge the scope of organization studies, Ahrne and Brunsson observe that organizational elements are no longer contained within the boundaries of discrete firms or agencies, but have broken up and flowed out to operate in varying combinations to create new partially organized entities in numerous social contexts. Together with their contributors, they examine their multiple guises in arenas as varied as markets, digital platforms, the sharing economy and 'organized' crime. An insightful window into the changing structure of contemporary society.' W. Richard Scott, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Business, Education, Engineering, and Medicine, Stanford University'Ahrne and Brunsson have put together a wide-ranging set of studies of the rationalization of contemporary society outside formal organizations themselves. Markets generate rationalized structure, and so do interpersonal relationships, criminal groups, and globalized international life. It is all pulled together in this impressive book under the creative heading of 'partial organization'.' John W. Meyer, Stanford University'The theory of partial organization is the most innovative development in organizational theory in many years – It's particularly useful for areas such as financial markets that are often considered to be understructured and atomized. The book is immensely successful in putting the theory together with different empirical applications; in a global world, it is badly needed to explain the growing domain and power of dispersed collectives without clear governance structure that transcend national boundaries.' Karin Knorr Cetina, Otto Borchert Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago'In markets, social movements, and everyday social life, we are increasingly confronted with forms of organized action that do not look like formal organization, from open source software to organized crime to Anonymous. Ahrne and Brunsson offer the concept of 'partial organization' to help make sense of these forms, and Organization Outside Organizations collects a sweeping set of contributions to this new and exciting literature.'
