Perceiving a need in health administration education for a text that addresses organization theory and development along with the more frequently treated subject of behavior, Johnson (health administration, Central Michigan U) presents such a text. Twenty-one contributed chapters offer coverage of classical and modern theories of organization, and complexity and postmodern theory; discussion of individual behavior and motivation, group dynamics, power and politics, conflict, leadership, decision making, and stakeholder dynamics; and treatment of transformational change, team building, and governance, among other topics. Two final chapters discuss organization development for terrorism and natural disasters, and the future. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
