ORGANIZATION THEORY & DESIGN 5 E

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management: Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management: Lies provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

How Small but Mighty Teams Overcome the Odds

David vs. Goliath

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

Fight Less, Win More

A fresh and life-affirming vision of management as one of the most meaningful jobs you didn't know you had—revealing how growing your employees is the key to fueling the bottom line and fueling your soul—from an acclaimed author and beloved NYU Stern professor. What does it feel like to be a boss who meant something, grew someone, and did something bigger than themselves? Good bosses manage people, not just performance—and leave behind legacies while boosting their organization’s bottom line. NYU Stern School of Business professor Dr. Dolly Chugh calls this sacred work. In The Good Boss Project, Dolly uses leads from employees to track down managers known to be good bosses. By interviewing both the manager and the people who work for them, she unpacks how good bosses refuse to choose between high standards for performance and high standards for humanity. You will meet managers in small startups, big companies, the military, investment banking, and even a lice removal clinic…as well as a meditation guru, Broadway and Hollywood director, and March Madness championship basketball coach. Grounded in a sense of purpose, each offers a vulnerable peek into their inner lives as a manager, including what works on the good days (and what doesn’t on the bad days). Drawing on these stories plus the latest research from social psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral economics, Chugh shows how to get more developmental value from delegation, spend less time solving your people’s problems and more time empowering them to solve their own, create a culture that serves as the emotional DNA for teams, and be the employer people say they will follow anywhere. Along the way, she equips you with the concrete skills you need (today) to be the good boss that (amazing) people want to work (hard) for and deliver (extraordinary) results for. Being a good boss is sacred work. The kind that leaves a legacy. Whether you’re a new manager, a not-so-new manager, or a seen-it-all manager, The Good Boss Project is your pep talk and toolkit for becoming the boss you mean to be.

Armstrong’s Handbook of Performance Management

In a world fractured by constant volatility, traditional leadership frameworks are being challenged by forces that evolve faster than institutions can interpret them. This book challenges the comforting illusion of the "Black Swan" -- that major disruptions are rare, unpredictable events best understood only after they occur. Instead, the author introduces the perma-disruption ecosystem: an environment where geopolitical, technological and regulatory forces continuously collide and compound. The true threat to modern institutions is not the rare, unforeseeable shock; it is the "Black Dragon" -- a massive systemic force that is visible long before its full consequences unfold, yet repeatedly ignored because no single signal feels urgent enough to demand action until the power to choose has already begun to disappear.Written for forward-thinking executives, board members and senior leaders, The Black Dragon delivers a rigorous architecture for institutional foresight, proactive governance and strategic transformation. At its core is Black Dragon Logic: the discipline of reading the terrain of perma-disruption. Moving beyond passive delegation and superficial agility, the book outlines a demanding new leadership contract rooted in collective intelligence and anticipatory accountability. It explains how to cut through paralyzing data noise, interpret converging power dynamics and deploy capital with confidence before disruption becomes obvious to everyone else.,

Algorithmic Management: Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Organizations is the first comprehensive textbook designed to prepare management students to engage critically and responsibly with artificial intelligence in organizations. Bringing together classical management theory, contemporary AI applications, and systematic power analysis, the book equips future managers to both harness AI's potential and confront its risks.Structured in three parts, the book begins with foundational frameworks-socio-technical systems theory, technology and society perspectives, and core management theories reinterpreted for the AI era. It then examines applications across all major management functions-Marketing, HR, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Strategy-using over 30 real-world case studies drawn from different industries, parts of the world, and types of organizations from multinational corporations to nonprofits and social ventures. The final section addresses organizational design, leadership, governance, and the future of algorithmic organizations. Throughout, pedagogical features-learning objectives, vignettes, discussion questions, toolkits, and ethical dilemmas-make the book classroom-ready and adaptable across MBA, undergraduate, and executive education settings. The text advances an approach of pragmatic criticality: AI is neither celebrated uncritically nor rejected outright but treated as a socio-technical phenomenon requiring managerial judgment, ethical reflection, and contextual awareness.By bridging management theory, functional practice, and critical perspectives, this book fills a critical market gap and is positioned to become the definitive teaching resource on AI and management for business education worldwide.
