Politics in Organisations: Re‐examining OD

Abstract

Analysing organisations in terms of political behaviour is nothing new in the field of organisational psychology. Such well known behavioural scientists as French, Burns and March indicated more than 20 years ago that the political aspects of life in organisations require substantial exploration. It is only recently that the challenge has been accepted but, as shown in this monograph, it has had little impact in the areas of management and organisation development.
