Abstract: Abstract The term organisation is normally associated with the social world. In the immediate post-war period the influential sociologist William H. Whyte published an influential book known as The Organization Man (Whyte, 1956). The central theme of the book considered the rise of the modern organisation and the effects of organisations upon individuals, particularly those living in the United States. It chronicled how individuals not only worked for organisations but in many ways ‘belonged’ to such organisations.
