Extremist Groups and Conflict Resolution: The Move Crisis in Philadelphia - Hardcover

by Hizkias Assefa (Author), Paul Wahrhaftig (Author), Hitkias Assefa (Author)

This work is both a theoretical and empirical analysis of the growing use of ideological control in business and administrative organizations. The empirical studies reported in this volume were conducted in different types of organizations and in different countries (Poland, the United States, and Sweden). Throughout this unique examination, the author emphasizes the role of ideologies as vehicles for organizational change--not, as traditionally seen, as instruments for maintaining the status quo.
