Experiencing Organisations: New Aesthetic Perspectives

In everyday life we engage with organisations at almost every turn, as clients, customers, employers, or just citizens. Such has been the hegemonic power of the large commercial corporation that public, political and cultural organisations (hospitals, universities, and even churches) have been modelled on it. But considerable re-thinking is now going on, much of which uses art and culture as models of thought, mechanisms of reflection. frameworks for critique, and as means by which to understand the challenges of organisational life.

Experiencing Organisations – New Aesthetic Perspectives offers new understanding of organisations and of the experiences of the people inside them. Written for both specialist and generalist audiences, in purposively general terms the book addresses the way we encounter and engage with these different organisations, and argues that key to understanding is how we experience them in these interactions.
