4.0 out of 5 stars very useful and interesting way to look at organizations Dec 31 2000
By M. H. Bayliss
Format:Paperback
This is a business book for an English major! No really, if you like to think metaphorically, you will enjoy this book because it gives several models for understanding organizations. The organization as an organism, as a brain, as a physic prison, etc....

At the end of each chapter, the author summarizes and then states the limitations and advantages of each metaphor. The final chapters are devoted to applying these approaches to real examples. As far as business books go, I found this one very interesting and more holistic than most. Maybe that's because I was an English major.
