In this, the first of a two-volume paperback edition of the landmark Handbook of Organization Studies, editors Stewart R. Clegg, Cynthia Hardy, and Walter R. Nord survey the field of organization studies. Central to the enterprise has been a concern to reflect and honor the manifest diversity of the field, including recognition of the extent to which the very notion of a single field of organization studies is debated. Part I locates the study of organization by reviewing some of the most significant theoretical paradigms to have shaped our understanding. Part II reflects on the relationships between theory and research in organization studies. The Study of Organization is an ideal volume around which to build courses on organization theory and research methodology.
