Title: The Workplace Within: Psychodynamics of Organizational Life
Author: Larry Hirschhorn
Publisher: The MIT Press
Edition: January 24, 1990
This time of economic and employment uncertainty makes this book an indispensible tool for executives who wish to deepen their understanding
of what could go wrong in an organization when assumptions go unquestioned. In The Workplace Within, Larry Hirschhorn examines the social
defenses that organizations develop to cope with change. Using real-life scenarios from offices, factories, and social services, he describes
why irrational practices that can fragment and injure individuals within the workplace exist, how they operate, and how they can be reshaped to
enhance work experiences and social sensitivity.
Purpose: The Women In Bio book club, Books About Business℠, offers women members a casual environment
for discussing books, business, and issues we face in the life science industry.
You are encouraged to read the book beforehand. Please bring an hors d'oeuvre, dessert, or wine to share.
This event is sponsored by
Miles & Stockbridge, Biotechnology Industry Organization, Maryland Department of Business & Economic Development, WilmerHale, Navigators, UMBC ACTiVATE.
