One approach to capture and express these themes has been Societal Analysis, initially developed above all to confront the internationally comparative study of work, organization, education and training, industrial relations, business and industrial structures.After twenty-five years of practising and developing Societal Analysis, this book serves to systematize and redefine the approach, and to react to criticism and newly arising issues. It brings together proponents, sympathizers and critics of Societal Analysis. It enters new fields, and contributions are clustered around the enterprise, the economy, theoretical and methodological aspects, public policy and gender issues. The message stressed and demonstrated by the editors and various authors, is that the 'societal space' of social, economic political interdependencies is not being obliterated but complexified, and therefore a topical, useful and indeed necessary explanatory framework. 410 0$aAdvances in organization studies ;$v4. 606 $aEconomics$xSociological aspects 606 $aSociology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPolitical science$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEconomics$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aSociology$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPolitical science$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a306.3 701 $aMaurice$b Marc$0346834 701 $aSorge$b Arndt$01761479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826395103321 996 $aEmbedding organizations$94200947 997 $aUNINA
