Industry Reviews
'Human Nature and Organization Theory is a very satisfying read with a broad appeal that stretches across disciplinary boundaries. Its author speaks not only to a wide cross-section of organizational researchers, economists, business ethics researchers, and business historians, but also in a revelatory and practical way to business managers. . . The enduring controversy about the portrayal of human nature in organizational economics has here benefited from a truly refreshing and insightful treatment.' -- Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization
'Human Nature and Organization Theory is a groundbreaking book which has a tradition that extends back to the early days of the Human Relations movement. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in the interface between the individual and the organization. It is a scholarly, thoughtful book.' -- Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Lancaster University Management School, UK
'One of the most important developments in the social sciences in the last 20 years is the increasing recognition of the importance of institutional structures. This understanding is vital, for matters ranging from economic development to business efficiency. The more perceptive commentators recognise that the understanding of institutions and organisations also involves an appraisal of human nature, as situated in and moulded by these structures. Sigmund Wagner-Tsukamoto is one of this group. In a fresh and stimulating institutional analysis, he focuses on the key works of Frederick W. Taylor, Herbert A. Simon and Oliver E. Williamson. These important but contrasting approaches create a vital zone of enquiry, within which the author brings an engaging and interdisciplinary perspective. The result is a book that should be of interest for all social scientists wishing to understand the interactions between individuals and organisations.' -- Geoffrey M. Hodgson, University of Hertfordshire Business School, UK
