Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses social psychological research in organizations and illustrates the implications of this research for organizational theory and practice. The book focuses on the relationship of man to the organization in which he works; his sense of satisfaction, involvement, feelings of identification or loyalty, conflicts, and tensions - as well as his effort in support of, or opposition to, the formally defined goals of the organization.

Sommario/riassunto

This study shows how aesthetics and economics have been combined in a great work of literature. Widely acknowledged as one of the great English novels,<i> Middlemarch</i> was published at a time which saw the emergence of a commodity-based culture. Frost examines the history of <i>Middlemarch</i>'s composition and publication within the context of Victorian demand, then goes on to consider the interpretation, reception and consumption of the book. Reader experience and rival publications are explored alongside a 'commodity reading' of the novel. The study will be of value to scholars of book history, economics and material culture.
