Insightful!
How can citizens of a society that exalts freedom consent to spend the majority of their lives laboring within organizations that are hierarchical, slow-moving and dictatorial? Gifford and Elizabeth Pinchot raised that question in their heralded 1993 book and provided the following answer: Not willingly and not for long. The Pinchots were among the first management scholars to predict the demise of the military-style command structure, along with its inherent secrecy and Machiavellian political sniping. Although a slew of books devoted to the same theme have been published since, none have done a better job at explaining the potential of informed and engaged employees who don't fear their bosses too much to take decisive action. We [...] strongly recommend this book, which brims with meticulous case histories showing how teams, employee-owned companies and internal free-market competition have transformed organizations. (In fact, the Pinchots coined the term "intraprenuership" to describe this process.)While you might not be convinced that a company run by consensus can ever compete with one run by The Prince, this book gives you hope that it can.
Manifesto for Good People Trapped in Bad Organizations
The seven essentials of organizational intelligence include widespread truth and rights; freedom of enterprise, liberated teams, equality and diversity, voluntary learning networks, democratic self-rule, and limitedcorporate government.It was this book, and the very strong applause thatthe author received from all those attending OSS '96, that caused me torealize that the U.S. Intelligence Community is just chock full of verygood people that want to change, but are not being allowed to change by theorganizational circumstances within which they are trapped-frozen in timeand budget. ...

Case Background
The major categories of mass communication are presented with key cases under each. Prior to getting into the various cases, background on the legal system is explained. The readers are told about public communication and the law in general. There is an overview of the first amendment to the U.S. constitution. Logically flowing out of that is discussion of issues directly related such as libel and privacy. Graphically the design is such that the content is easy to digest. The book goes on to provide sections on intellectual property, corporate speech, advertising, and journalism. Matters of accessibility are included as well. This book is an excellent overview to mass media law. ... Read more

Concise and Powerful
Denhardt's "Theories of Public Organizations" is a concise overview of public administration theories that have had contributed to the substantive mosaic of the field of public administration. Along a continuum ranging from the early contributors to the contemporary accounts in public administration, including scholars of different epistemological persuasions, Denhardt introduces the readers with mouthwatering fecundity of public administration theory/theories. Linking Theory and Practice?
Theories of Public Organization takes on the noble (and difficult) task of merging organizational theory with the realities of modern public administration.Denhardt begins by tracing the intellectual and political heritage of administrative thought.The book then shifts its focus to the modern challenges faced by organizations and attempts to bind theory and practice together in keeping with the overall theme of the book: theory and practice do not and can not exist independent of each other.Read more
