Summary: A Superb Text About Organizational Theory & Design
Comment: Amongst several Organizational Theory textbooks, this book stands unique. It is very comprehensive, profound, and detailed while being simple, exciting, highly organized, and not wordy. The language of the book is conversational and it helps you "digest" the theoritical concept very quickly depending on a wonderful set of examples and real-life profiles. This text was definitely helpful to me in develpoing a very clear understanding of organizational design, stucture and culture through an excellent coverage of up-to-date topics and well-refined treatment of textual presentation. I advise every management reader to enrich his/her personal business library by acquiring this book. It is really awesome!

Summary: Very Comprehensive Treatment of Org Theory/Design
Comment: I teach an undergraduate class in "Organizations & Technology" at the University of Phoenix (Southern California campuses) and we use the Garth R. Jones book as our textbook. I have found the book to be so comprehensive and well-organized that I am able to link the organization and content of my lectures directly to the textbook. I find that I cannot do this with many textbooks.

I am most anxious to obtain the "instructor's version" of the text and the accompanying videotapes. (These are mentioned in the preface.)

Summary: A Good Review of Organizational Theory
Comment: Jones' text on organizational theory provides the casual reader with a good review of the main currents of thought on that subject. The layout of the material helps readers identify key points easily.

This reader found the surprising number of grammar errors, particularly split infinitives, distracting.
