(Jossey-Bass: San Francisco) -- Management and Organization Theory, by Jeffrey A. Miles (Jossey-Bass, 2012), offers a summary and analysis of the 40 most popular, researched, and applied management and organization theories. This important resource includes key instruments used to measure variables in each theory and examines pertinent questions about the theory: strengths and weaknesses, practical applications, and the seminal articles published on each theory.

“This is a remarkable book,” says Shaker A. Zahra, Robert E. Buuck Chair, and professor of the Strategic Management and Organizations Department, University of Minnesota. “Jeffrey Miles clearly explains and synthesizes 40 major theories of management and organization in an easily accessible and engaging style. Well researched, comprehensive in its coverage, thorough, balanced, and fair in its analyses of theories, the book is destined to be a major authoritative reference in the field. It is one of the most readable, informative, and useful books I have read.”
