This book is animportant Contributionto the development ofmanagement thinking which has reached... in... this area of organisation theory, a stalemate. It looks at the history and
development of organisation theories, and establishes new theoretical approaches using concepts borrowed from linguistics and psychoanalysis It is a work of synthesis and an
original contribution.
Professor Lussato first examines the concepts and types of language used by organisation theorists and managers in their analyses of the problems of organisions and their relationship to the language and functions of business. Within this framework he discusses the writings of a wide range of management; theorists from the classical school of Taylor, Follet and Fayol to contemporary systems theorists like Jay Forrester. His own contribution is to show the relevance of structural linguistics and semantics to the study of organisationalanalysis of a company in terms of flows: physical, abstract, representationaland monetary. This analysis is based on intensive field research in France.
The final chapter presents theimplications of the author's argument in a case-study of a large French electronics company. This work on organisational constraints in the short and long term provides a framework for the more efficient design of organisational structures;
