"In this disarmingly simple book, Oshry strips away much of the mystery and mythology of organizational life. Part I deals with "Internal Warfare," a painfully familiar scenario of organizational life. Part II takes you into the distinctly different worlds of Tops, Middles, Bottoms and Customers of organizations. You see how misunderstandings and conflict develop across "worlds" and how cooperation can be achieved. Part III confronts you with critical choices faced every day -- choices that can transform your life and the life of your organization."--Amazon.com.

Paris 1874, Boulevard des Capucines: a group of artists that were to radically change the rules of the art world, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Paul Czanne, Edgar Degas and Frdric Bazille, mounted an exhibition in the studio of photographer Flix Nadar. The exhibition proved to be a veritable scandal that filled critics with indignation, and they contemptuously labeled the paintings eoeimpressioniste because they had been badly constructed and were ambiguous. In fact, the technique they had adopted was utterly original because it entailed painting outdoorse"en plein aire"using newly available apparatus and tools such as a portable easel, ready-to-use paints in airtight tubes that came in a whole range of bright colors, and paintbrushes with broad, flat bristles held in place by a metal ring.

The Theory and Philosophy of Organizations makes a major contribution to the debate on the status of organizational theory as a discipline. The volume is divided into three sections exploring issues under the headings `theory', `anasis' and `philosophy'. In each, the limitations of `traditional' or `scientific' organizational paradigms are illuminated and new forms of interpretation offered.

This is another title in the grounbreaking Possibilities series of titles from Dr. Robert Carkhuff, and Dr. Bernard Berenson. Contents Include: Possibilities Management; The Processing Paradigm; Information Relating Systems; Information Representing Systems; Individual Processing Systems; Interpersonal Processing Systems; Interdependent Processing Systems; Process-Centric Change.

Volume II of the The New Science of Possibilities introduces the processing technologies and applications: inductive and deductive processing, generative processing and hybrid modeling and paradigmatic and paradigmetric modeling. These paradigmatic modeling technologies empower one to model any phenomena and to tailor measurement to assess their changeable destinies.
