5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent information, well-presented, engaging

I don't normally write reviews, but I just had to read this book for a MBA course through Liberty University and it was excellent. This was the best book that I have read on business thus far throughout my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Daft is not wordy and the examples are pertinent and do not bog down the reading like other books. I actually learned something new with every chapter and it was easy to follow and understand. Excellent read and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality, comprehensive coverage of organization theory
Reviewed in the United States on 8 November 2015
Verified Purchase
This book is easy to read, very informative and is well organized. Over the years I have encountered most of the organizational structures addressed in this book. What makes this book so valuable is the rationale for picking one structure over another, and how that structure helps or hinders in implementing your business strategy. Once you have gone through the material, the book makes for a great reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for professionals & students
Reviewed in the United States on 23 October 2019

While this book is more wordy than it needs to be, the real world examples drive the concepts hone. Daft provides plenty of thought provoking discussion questions and illustrations to visually explain the information.

I would recommend this book not only for students but also business professionals looking to increase their knowledge.

Very thorough in its description of the concept. I would be interested in the latest versions as opposed to this version though.
