First published in 1984, Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal?s best-selling book has become a classic in the field. Its four-frame model examines organizations as factories, families, jungles, and theaters or temples:

• The Structural Frame: how to organize and structure groups and teams to get results
• The Human Resource Frame: how to tailor organizations to satisfy human needs, improve human resource management, and build positive interpersonal and group dynamics
• The Political Frame: how to cope with power and conflict, build coalitions, hone political skills, and deal with internal and external politics
• The Symbolic Frame: how to shape a culture that gives purpose and meaning to work, stage organizational drama for internal and external audiences, and build team spirit through ritual, ceremony, and story

This new edition is filled with new case examples such as Hurricane Katrina and profiles of great leaders such as Mother Theresa, Thomas Keller, and others. In addition, the book updates the "Organizational Theory's Greatest Hits" text boxes throughout, and increases geographic, cultural and gender diversity in examples and text. It also features an enhanced online teacher's guide with a new test bank, as well as updated PowerPoint slides, teaching ideas and experiential activities, and links to resources.

Interesting book but the kindle edition is formatted very poorly and there are strand dots between every letter. I emailed amazon only to be told that they know it's a problem but they don't know when they'll be able to fix it.

By P. Dana

At first I took the concept of frames to be just a book organization gimmick. However, after reading through the book I found the concept frames to be very useful and well thought out. I found myself looking at various events in my work environment and organizations in general in terms of frames, and more importantly making better sense of those events by a better understanding of the frames.
The leadership section towards the end is short, but quite astute. The sample case in the last chapter of the book is excellent and a great example of how to think and analyze as situation with the wider perspective provided by the frames.
