title: Comparative Analysis of Complex Organizations, Rev. Ed.
author:  Amitai Etzioni 
description: <i>American Sociological Review</i> This is an important book....It classifies organizations on the basis of organizational properties and systematically examines variations among different types of organization....The scope of Etizioni's approach include a wide variety of organizations, from religious societies to concentration camps...valuable reading for all students of organization.<br /><br /><i>The Annals</i> American Academy of Political and Social Science ...a challenging and fresh approach to an important area which has, in general, leaned too closely and too heavily for too long a time on the giant contributions of Max Weber.<br /><br /><i>American Political Science Review</i> ....the analysis of Charisma, and the critique of Weber's well-known discussion of this phenomenon, are among the best things in the book.<br /><br /><i>Personnel Psychology</i> Etzioni breaks into new territory....Perhaps now the ideas planted so long ago by Barnard and Simon will receive the nurture which they so deserve...a contribution of significance.
