Chapter Chapter 1 in Organization Theory by Chester Barnard, 2020, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book aims to improve understanding of Barnard’s theory; it systematically explains Barnard’s six main concepts of organization and clarifies the revolutionary aspects of the concept of formal organization. First, this book contributes as an introductory guide to Barnard’s organization theory for undergraduate and graduate students; second, as a research to examine how Barnard developed his concepts of organization for researchers; and third, as a suggestion to create a new style of management for practitioners. This book is composed of eight chapters: an introduction, the main body of six chapters that summarize Barnard’s basic concepts of organization, and a conclusion. The six core chapters are designed with the same format: the main idea of each concept, a summary of the theory of each concept, and a discussion.
