In this book, the relation between architecture, management and organization theory, a relation much under-explored and long overdue for reconsideration, is explored. By looking at processes of organizing from a spatial perspective, the authors reveal interesting insights into how power, culture, change, and identity are embedded, enacted and played out in and through space. Not only do we shape buildings but buildings also shape us. The interaction between how we design our environments, how these environments influence our behavior and by extension, who we are, is the key issue that provides the coherent focus for this volume. This title is part of "Advances in Organization Studies", Vol.17. Series editors are: Stewart R. Clegg and Ralph E. Stablein. "Advances in Organization Studies" is a channel for cutting edge theoretical and empirical works of high quality, that contributes to the field of organizational studies.
