Mary Jo Hatch

Organisationsteorier er oversat fra 4. udgave af den engelske Organization Theory, der gennem årene er blevet internationalt anerkendt som en af de førende lærebøger på området. Mary Jo Hatch giver et komplet billede af organisationsteoriens landskab og historie. Bogen er kendt for sit udgangspunkt i tre dominerende perspektiver: det moderne, det symbolske og det postmoderne, som giver læseren et godt redskab til at forstå og positionere sig i forskellige teorier. Mary Jo Hatch er kendt for sin pædagogiske formidling og præsenterer altid teorierne med praktisk anvendelighed for øje. Læseren bliver konstant engageret via casestudier og eksempler. Blandt andet indeholder bogen et helt nyt kapitel om organisationsidentitet baseret på en stor undersøgelse af Carlsberg. Mary Jo Hatch, ph.d., er C. Coleman McGehee Eminent Scholars Research Professoremeritus ved University of Virginia. Herudover har hun været tilknyttet en række universiteter i hele verden som gæsteforsker.

Organization Theory offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the study of organizations and organizing processes. Through the unique three-perspective approach, students are challenged to explain, explore, and evaluate organizational theory, drawing on their own experiences as well as the book's diverse practical examples. The fourth edition includes a host of new learning features, which examine the practicality of theorizing and encourage students to broaden their intellectual reach. 'Theory to Practice' boxes and case studies highlight organizing processes in a range of settings, either through real-life, business examples or through exercises that encourage students to apply the theory to organizations they know or organizing experiences of their own. 'Think like a Theorist' and 'Exercise Those Perspectives' boxes then encourage students to actively theorize and evaluate, developing essential critical thinking skills and a greater understanding of the complex knowledge with which organization theorists grapple. By taking theory off the page, students can learn through doing and adopt a reflexive stance to the world around them. Mary Jo Hatch draws on her extensive experience in the field to produce a trusted and accessible introduction to the subject that provides academic depth, engaging pedagogy, and a practical focus. This book is accompanied by a collection of online resources: For students: Multiple-choice questions For lecturers: PowerPoint slides Figures and tables from the book Lecturers' guide Additional case studies

Et corporate brand er et af de vigtigste aktiver i mange virksomheder. I denne bog har forfatterne Majken Schultz og Mary Jo Hatch i dialog med ledere fra verdensbrands som fx LEGO Gruppen, Novo Nordisk, Nissan og Johnson & Johnson udviklet en model, der kan vurdere, hvor gode virksomhederne er til at håndtere deres brand. Casehistorierne i Brug dit brand er rige, og hvert kapitel har sine egne cases til at illustrere pointerne. Corporate branding: en dynamisk ledelseopgave for det øverste ledelseslag Schultz og Hatch’ corporate brand-arbejde placerer ledelsesansvaret for brandhåndteringen på højeste niveau. Ikke i marketing og HR-afdelingen! Hver enkelt stakeholder: medarbejdere, kunder, leverandører og ”brandtilbedere” spiller en vigtig rolle, når det gælder om at definere betydningen og skabe værdien af det brand, der knytter alle stakeholdere til virksomheden. Majken Schultz og Mary Jo Hatch er helt overbeviste om, at samtænkning mellem vision, kultur og image er altafgørende for at få succes med sit brand: ”Hver eneste gang man får øje på et vellykket corporate brand, kan man konstatere en sammenhæng mellem det, virksomhe-dens øverste ledelse ønsker at opnå i fremtiden (dens strategiske vision), det, som virksomhedens medarbejdere ved eller tror på (nedfældet i dens kultur), og det, som de eksterne inte-ressenter forventer af eller forbinder med virksomheden (deres forskellige billeder eller image af virksomheden)… – jo større samhørighed mellem vision, kultur og image, desto stærkere bliver brandet”. Grundbog: overblik og præcis vejledning Brug dit brand er grundbogen, der giver ledere, virksomheder, reklame- og kommunikationsfolk – og alle andre interessenter – overblikket over corporate brandledelse. Bogen tegner både de store linier inden for corporate brand-udvikling og giver præcis vejledning til, hvordan ledere kan begynde den omfattende og aldrig afsluttede opgave at lede virksomhedens corporate brand.

Organisationer er alle vegne. Vi studerer i dem, arbejder i dem og køber varer og ydelser hos dem. Men hvor kommer de fra, hvordan ser de ud i dag, og hvordan bliver de i fremtiden? Hvorfor har de så meget indflydelse på vores liv, og hvad påvirker dem? Kan de forbedres, så de passer bedre til vores behov og ønsker? I Organisationsteori. En meget kort introduktion diskuterer Mary Jo Hatch organisatoriske begreber og processer med et tværfagligt blik. Tankevækkende læsning for alle ledere og medarbejder - og ikke mindst for dem, der bliver den en dag.

Most of us recognize that organizations are everywhere. You meet them on every street corner in the form of families and shops, study in them, work for them, buy from them, pay taxes to them. But have you given much thought to where they came from, what they are today, and what they might become in the future? How and why do they have so much influence over us, and what influences them? How do they contribute to and detract from the meaningfulness of lives, and how might we improve them so they better serve our needs and desires? This Very Short Introductions addresses all of these questions and considers many more. Mary Jo Hatch introduces the concept of organizations by presenting definitions and ideas drawn from the a variety of subject areas including the physical sciences, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, literature, and the visual and performing arts. Drawing on examples from prehistory and everyday life, from the animal kingdom as well as from business, government, and other formal organizations, Hatch provides a lively and thought provoking introduction to the process of organization.

The Three Faces of Leadership takes readers inside the minds of CEOs who have been celebrated by the Harvard Business Review over the last decade of the twentieth century. Drawing on interviews with these famous CEOs, Mary Jo Hatch, Monika Kostera and Andrzej K. Kozminski demonstrate how business leaders today use aesthetics, specifically storytelling, dramatizing and mythmaking, to lead their companies successfully. They look at how they inspire organizations through their creativity, virtue and faith, and thus show the faces of the artist and priest alongside the technical and rational face of the manager. The Three Faces of Leadership features clear and accessible explanations of the aesthetic philosophy of management: as applied to the concepts of creativity, imagination, courage, virtue, inspiration, faith and ethics. It presents techniques for developing these qualities as an essential part of leadership; together with the capacity to communicate them to others. Aesthetic leadership practices are linked to organizational culture, change, vision, values and identity. In this way, the book encourages students and executives to align the creative and spiritual aspects of business with their technical training and practice.
