Summary note
The Agency of Organizing explains why the notion of agency is central to understanding what organizations are, how they come into existence, continue to exist, of fade away, and how they function. Written by leading organizational communication scholars, the chapters in the edited volume present seven different theoretical perspectives on agency in the dynamics of organizing. Authors discuss how they conceptualize agency from their own perspective and how they propose to investigate agency empirically in processes of organizing by using specific methods. Through insightful case studies, they demonstrate the value of these perspectives for organizational research and practice. Book jacket.
