This revised and expanded edition of "The Politics of Organizational Decision-making" examines the competition for power and status between individuals and groups in a single firm. It recounts the struggle between programmers and systems analysts, on the one hand, and between these groups and their executive superiors, on the other, over decisions to purchase new computers. An entirely new concluding chapter attempts to demonstrate the value of the political framework pioneered in the book, for the analysis of business strategy and organizational change generally. For managers, computer specialists and business theorists, this should be an interesting account of decision-making within a dynamic company. The book should be of interest to specialists in business management, organizational theory and computerization.
