Foreword / Robert Cooper -- Ch. 1. Autopoiesis, Luhmann, Spencer Brown -- Ch. 2. Organisation as autopoietic system -- Ch. 3. Organisational identity -- Ch. 4. The logic of self-transformation -- Ch. 5. An evolutionary model of self-transformation -- Conclusion : the distinctions of the study.
Review: "This book brings together two important issues in organisation and management studies: the concept and related theory of organisational identity and autopoietic organisation theory (as originally developed by Niklas Luhmann)." "The contribution of the book is twofold: it provides an introduction to autopoietic organisation theory and it provides a new perspective on organisational identity and self-transformation. Thus the book is relevant to both organisation theorists interested in new approaches to organisation and to researchers of organisational identity."--BOOK JACKET.
