This book is a cornerstone work in the field of Organizational Analysis/Behavior. More specifically, this book is an excellent starting point in learning to create analogies to gain insight into organizations and better understand them and the behavior of people within them.
I used this book in an Organizational Behavior class in an MBA program, and it was a vital source for my research paper.
Whether you are in grad school (e.g. MBA, PhD in business) or an executive wanting to better understand the "analogy method" of organizational analysis, this book is a great first step and will most certainly lead you to dig deeper into this fascinating field of research.
