About this title

From the Back Cover

“This reissue of Formal Organizations by Blau and Scott is wonderful news. As
was true for the past generation, once again every student of organizations can and should read this classic text. Everyone can benefit immensely from its timeless contribution to the understanding of organizations.” —Andrew H. Van de Ven, University of Minnesota
“Formal Organizations is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the roots of contemporary organizational sociology. In this book, Blau and Scott anticipated—and catalyzed—many of the perspectives on organizations that emerged in the 1970s and that continue to influence current debates in the field. This timely reissue provides a welcome reminder of the historical context for much of what we take for granted about organizational sociology today.” —Howard E. Aldrich, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
