Preface

My vision for the Twelfth Edition of Organization Theory and Design is to integrate current organization design problems with significant ideas and theories in a way that is engaging and enjoyable for students. There is an average of 37 new citations per chapter for new findings and examples that make the Twelfth Edition current and applicable for students. In addition, significant elements of this edition include “Managing by Design Questions” and “How Do You Fit the Design?” boxes, along with updates to every chapter that incorporate the most recent ideas, new case examples, new book reviews, and new end-of-book integrative cases. The research and theories in the field of organization studies are rich and insightful and will help students and managers understand their organizational world and solve real-life problems. My mission is to combine the concepts and models from organizational theory with changing events in the real world to provide the most up-to-date view of organization design available.

Distinguishing Features of the twelfth edition Many students in a typical organization theory course do not have extensive work experience, especially at the middle and upper levels, where organization theory is most applicable. Moreover, word from the field is that many students today often do not read the chapter opening examples or boxed examples, preferring instead to focus on chapter content. To engage students in the world of organizations, the Twelfth Edition uses “Managing by Design Questions” at the start of each chapter. These questions immediately engage students in thinking and expressing their beliefs and opinions about organization design concepts. Another in-chapter feature, “How Do You Fit the Design?” engages students in how their personal style and approach will fit into an organization. Other student experiential activities that engage students in applying chapter concepts include new “BookMarks,” new “In Practice” examples, new end-of-chapter cases, and new integrative cases for student analysis. The total set of features substantially expands and improves the book’s content and accessibility. These multiple pedagogical devices are used to enhance student involvement in text materials.

How Do You Fit the Design? The “How Do You Fit the Design?” feature presents a short questionnaire in each chapter about the student’s own style and preferences to quickly provide feedback about how they fit particular organizations or situations. For example, questionnaire topics include “What Is Your Cultural Intelligence?” “Your Strategy Strength,” “Are You Ready to Fill an International Role?” “Corporate Culture Preference,” “Is Goal-Setting Your Style?” “Making Important Decisions,”

and “Personal Networking.” These short feedback questionnaires connect the student’s personal preferences to chapter material to heighten interest and show the relevance of chapter concepts.

managing by Design Questions. Each chapter opens with three short opinion questions that engage students in clarifying their thoughts about upcoming material and concepts. These questions are based on the idea that when students express their opinions first, they are more open to and interested in receiving material that is relevant to the questions. Example questions, which ask students to agree or disagree, include:

A certain amount of conflict is good for an organization. The best measures of business performance are financial. Savvy organizations should encourage managers to use Twitter. A CEO’s top priority is to make sure the organization is designed correctly. Managers should use the most objective, rational process possible when making a decision.

As a follow-up to the three “Managing by Design” questions, each chapter contains three “Assess Your Answer” inserts that allow students to compare their original opinions with the “correct” or most appropriate answers based on chapter concepts. Students learn whether their mental models and beliefs about organizations align with the world of organizations.

Bookmarks. “BookMarks” are short book reviews that reflect current issues of concern for managers working in real-life organizations. These reviews, which represent a unique feature of this text, describe the varied ways companies are dealing with the challenges of today’s changing environment. New “BookMarks” in the Twelfth Edition include Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck—Why Some Thrive Despite Them All, Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant, Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business, and Creativity Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration.

In Practice. This edition contains many new “In Practice” examples that illustrate theoretical concepts in organizational settings. Many examples are international, and all are based on real organizations. There are 50 new “In Practice” cases used within chapters, including Fujifilm Holding Corporation, Carnival Cruise Lines, Omnicom and Publicis, Amway, Harley Davidson, Morning Star, Valve Software, Amazon, the Freaky Friday Management Technique, Bloomberg PLC, Apple, Taco Bell and Frito Lay, L’Oreal, the U.S. Military, Box, BNSF Railway, Toyota Motor Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, United Health Group, Allegiant Travel, The Vatican, Nike, Richard Ginori, Caesar’s Entertainment, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Dell, Town of Sandy Springs, Georgia, Panasonic, Zappos, and Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital.

manager’s Briefcase. Located in the chapter margins, this feature tells students how to use concepts to analyze cases and manage organizations.

text exhibits. Frequent exhibits are used to help students visualize organizational relationships, and the artwork has been redone to communicate concepts more clearly.

Design essentials. This summary and interpretation section tells students how the essential chapter points are important in the broader context of organization theory and design.

Case for analysis. These cases are tailored to chapter concepts and provide a vehicle for student analysis and discussion. New cases for analysis include “It Isn’t So Simple: Infrastructure Change at Royce Consulting,” “The Venable Museum of Art,” “CPI Corporation: What Happened?,” “AV Corporate: Software Tool Project,” “Yahoo: Get to Work!,” “The Boys Versus Corporate,” and “Medici Mediterranean Restaurant.”

Integrative Cases. The integrative cases at the end of the text have been expanded and positioned to encourage student discussion and involvement. The new cases include W. L. Gore—Culture of Innovation, Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited: Restructuring the Marketing Division, Sometimes a Simple Change Isn’t So Simple, Rondell Data Corporation, and Disorganization at Semco: Human Resource Practices as a Strategic Advantage. Previous cases that have been retained include IKEA: Scandinavian Style, First Union: An Office Without Walls, Lean Initiatives and Growth at Orlando Metering Company, Costco: Join the Club, The Donor Services Department, Cisco Systems: Evolution of Structure, and Hartland Memorial Hospital.

new Concepts Many concepts have been added or expanded in this edition. New material has been added on the increasing complexity of the organizational environment, social business, goal conflict and the hybrid organization, big data analytics, the green movement and sustainability, the need for collaboration, social network analysis, quasirationality, manager decision-making biases, stages of disruptive innovation, the smart factory and trends in manufacturing, innovation contests and crowdsourcing, types of resource-dependent relationships, radical decentralization and bossless organization design, conscious capitalism, and global teams as a way to resolve the tension between a need for global uniformity and a need for local responsiveness.

Chapter organization Each chapter is highly focused and is organized into a logical framework. Many organization theory textbooks treat material in sequential fashion, such as “Here’s View A, Here’s View B, Here’s View C,” and so on. Organization Theory and Design shows how they apply in organizations. Moreover, each chapter sticks to the essential point. Students are not introduced to extraneous material or confusing methodological squabbles that occur among organizational researchers. The body of research in most areas points to a major trend, which is reported here. Several chapters develop a framework that organizes major ideas into an overall scheme.

This book has been extensively tested on students. Feedback from students and faculty members has been used in the revision. The combination of organization theory concepts, book reviews, examples of leading organizations, self-insight questionnaires, case illustrations, experiential exercises, and other teaching devices is designed to meet student learning needs, and students have responded favorably.

experiential exercises in organization theory and Design, second edition. By H. Eugene Baker III and Steven K. Paulson of the University of North Florida.

Tailored to the table of contents in Daft’s Organization Theory and Design, Twelfth Edition, the core purpose of Experiential Exercises in Organization Theory and Design is to provide courses in organizational theory with a set of classroom exercises that will help students better understand and internalize the basic principles of the course. The chapters of the book cover the most basic and widely covered concepts in the field. Each chapter focuses on a central topic, such as organizational power, production technology, or organizational culture, and provides all necessary materials to fully participate in three different exercises. Some exercises are intended to be completed by individuals, others in groups, and still others can be used either way. The exercises range from instrumentation-based and assessment questionnaires to actual creative production activities.

acknowledgments Textbook writing is a team enterprise. The Twelfth Edition has integrated ideas and hard work from many people to whom I am grateful. Reviewers and focus group participants made an especially important contribution. They praised many features, were critical of things that didn’t work well, and offered valuable suggestions.

Among my professional colleagues, I am grateful to my friends and colleagues at Vanderbilt’s Owen School—Bruce Barry, Rich Oliver, David Owens, Ty Park, Ranga Ramanujam, and Bart Victor—for their intellectual stimulation and feedback. I also owe a special debt to Dean Eric Johnson and Associate Dean Sal March for providing the time and resources for me to stay current on the organization design literature and develop the revisions for the text.

I want to extend special thanks to my editorial associate, Pat Lane. She skillfully wrote materials on a variety of topics and special features, found resources, and did an outstanding job with the copyedited manuscript and page proofs. Pat’s personal enthusiasm and care for the content of this text enabled the Twelfth Edition to continue its high level of excellence. I also thank DeeGee Lester for her work drafting new end-of-chapter and integrative cases. DeeGee’s creative writing skills brought to life key organizational issues that students will enjoy discussing and solving.

The team at Cengage Learning also deserves special mention. Scott Person did a great job of designing the project and offering ideas for improvement. Managing Content Developers Suzanne Wilder and Josh Wells were superb to work with and kept the people and project on schedule while solving problems creatively and quickly. Jennifer Ziegler and Joseph Malcolm, Project Managers, provided superb project coordination and used their creativity and management skills to facilitate the book’s on-time completion. Emily Horowitz, Marketing Manager; Kristen Hurd, Marketing Director; and Christopher Walz, Marketing Coordinator, offered additional support, creativity, and valuable market expertise.

Finally, I want to acknowledge the love and support of my daughters, Danielle, Amy, Roxanne, Solange, and Elizabeth, and my new grandson, Nelson, who make my life special during our precious time together.
