{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-process-philosophy-and-organization-studies-9780198746539","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Process Philosophy and Organization Studies","description":"Process approaches to organization studies focus on flow, activities, and evolution, understanding organizations and organizing as processes in the making. They stand in contrast to positivist approaches that see organizations and phenomena as fixed, static, and measurable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProcess approaches draw on a range of ideas and philosophies. The \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e examines 34 philosophers and social theorists, both those commonly linked to process thinking, such as Whitehead, Bergson and James, and those that are not as often addressed from a process perspective such as Dilthey and Tarde. Each chapter addresses the background and context of this thinker, their work (with a focus on the processual elements), and the potential contribution to organization and management research. For students and scholars in the field of Organization Studies this book is an entry point into the work of philosophical thinkers and social theorists for whom the world is far from being a solid place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Helin, Tor Hernes, Daniel Hjorth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198746539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJenny Helin, \u003cem\u003ePost Doctoral Researcher, Department of Business Studies, Uppsala University\u003c\/em\u003e, Tor Hernes, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School\u003c\/em\u003e, Daniel Hjorth, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, Copenhagen Business School\u003c\/em\u003e, Robin Holt, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Liverpool Management School\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJenny Helin has a post doctoral position at Uppsala University, Sweden.
