Overview'While organizational practice and contemporary literature on mergers seem predominantly focused on rational economic and managerial perspectives, Jinette de Gooijer explores the shadow side of these ventures. This book illuminates the enormous burden and losses that many, if not most, organizational members must face and endure. The underlying organizational psychodynamic of persecution and annihilation in mergers finds its expression in the book's title: 'The Murder in Merger'. It is a pioneering contribution to the issue of mergers and a unique socioanalytic masterpiece.'- Burkard Sievers, Professor Emeritus of Organization Development, Past-President ISPSO Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jinette De GooijerPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: Karnac Books Dimensions: Width: 14.70cm , Height: 1.80cm , Length: 23.00cm Weight: 0.480kg ISBN: 9781855756557ISBN 10: 1855756552 Pages: 316 Publication Date: 16 April 2009 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
