Description

When Organization Fails: Why Authority Matters by Routledge provides a deep investigation into the role of authority within management and organizational communication. While authority is frequently cited by members of an organization as a key factor in their daily work, it has rarely been studied in depth within existing management literature. This book fills that gap by examining how authority affects the unity of purpose and action required for an organization to function effectively. Authors James R. Taylor and Elizabeth J. van Every use two detailed case studies to explore these themes. By analyzing the accounts of the individuals involved, the text offers a unique perspective on how authority operates in real-world settings. This book is a valuable resource for students and professionals looking to understand the communication dynamics that drive or disrupt organizational success.
